Single Leg Balance On Toes - Band, Anti-Inversion
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Anchor a resistance band at about waist height. Walk out holding the band finding the right resistance for you. Shift your weight onto the leg closest to the anchor with a slight bend in your knee. Push into the ground with that foot and lift your heel off of the floor. This is hard to see! Holding onto the band, keep your body facing forward while the band tries to pull you back towards the anchor. Hold this position for as long as prescribed.
- FEEL: You should feel your foot muscles working. You should also feel core muscles working, too.
- COMPENSATION: Don’t let the band pull you towards the anchor.
