Ankle Dorsiflexion Joint Mobilization

Following ankle injuries such as sprains, it is important to work on ankle dorsiflexion mobility as this movement often becomes limited when not addressed.

Besides simply stretching into dorsiflexion, simple partner techniques can be implemented to mobilize the joint in order to gain mobility more quickly.

Today’s video shows a technique that can be implemented with very little training. To perform this mobilization, use your hands to push the talus in a posterior direction while your partner stretches into dorsiflexion.

Give this one a try and let me know if you have any questions!

1. use the webspace of your hand....
Can you make a video of how to get so flexible your hands can get into that position?

Thanks for posting this! I have a old injury (took a flying bat to my ankle as a kid) and I wanted to try this without a band since I don't have the right kind, plus I wasn't sure it would work. I tried this out alone, curled up on my couch lol, it decreased that front pinching pain by a lot!

thanks for the information i’ve realised when my ankle moves outwards with a force there’s pain in my syndesmosis .

[JOSHFLY]

when I rotate my ankle I can feel the tendon popping over the talus and you can hear it aswell. anyway to get it to go away?

Can you do over 100 reps in one set to gain mobility fast?

What's the difference between holding it and moving it? How does it affect mobility?

My friends big ankle bone goes in when she stands she has loose joints would this help? anyone know how to slowly build muscle in this area?

[bond-bh]

Hi, after post OP to my ankle with muscle loss and bone fracture 3 months ago
I'm now able to walk slowly. But while I'm doing doriflexion, it is not moving and unable to bend my knee, stiffness in ankle joint. How to overcome please

[dgmn]

My dorsiflexion isn't good, Looks like my Achilles tendon it's stiffness. I broken my tibia 3 years ago. The trauma wasn't close to the ankle (Middle of the bone), But I didn't effort enough in my exercises. Now, After all that time, Is it possible recovery my mobility? I cannot run Cuz that

[chriswilliams]

can you do this if there's still pain from a sprain?

[zubairkhan-gfmq]

I can't move my towards shin it not moving after football practice without any known injury. But I was keep practicing shot with that lef

[arlenbone]

Do people really have to work at this? I just thought they bent at least 45 degrees effortlessly?

[danield]

Thank you for information. What exercises could i do to improve inward motion of my ankle. I seem to have very limited mobility when I try turn my ankle inwards it causes some pain if I try force it

I’ve join relocation issue but there’s no one to fix it
