Ankle Eversion - Plantarflexion Bias, Band Around Heel
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Begin in a seated position. Loop a band around an anchor or the leg of the chair and place your foot inside the loop with the band going around your heel. Walk your foot out against and find a good resistance to start with. From here, lift your heel off of the ground. Push into the ground with your toes as you move your heel inwards against the resistance of the band.
- FEEL: You should feel your ankle muscles working.
- COMPENSATION: Don’t use your knee and hip to move the band, only use your lower leg. Keep your toes pushing into the ground as you move your heel.
