Ankle Circles
Ankle mobility
How to
Seated with one leg extended, lift the foot slightly and slowly trace large circles with it, moving only at the ankle. Complete a set of circles in one direction, then reverse.
Benefits
- Keeps the ankle joint mobile, especially useful after periods of immobility
- A gentle way to ease stiffness without any weight-bearing
- Can be done anywhere, including on a plane or at a desk
Practice
10 circles in each direction per foot, moving slowly enough to feel the full range of motion.
