    66 and passed! I’ve had multiple ankle injuries in my youth, so my ankles are always a focus for me to keep them strong. I stretch, do squats, sit in a squat and stand on one foot almost every day. It’s so important to avoid falling as you age.

    Ankle Eversion and Inversion, I call it the Ankle wiggle. 😂
    Thank you! I really needed this. Work has meant I've not been to my gym for over a year now. Feeling stiff around my ankles. Will definitely do these. As I've been worried about sustaining an injury, if I launch myself back in to my gym routine without your valuable advice.

  • @steveknox9178

    I horrendously failed the test. I can barely get one finger width away from the wall. I'm in my early forties and my lack of ankle mobility makes it nearly impossible to do movements like squats correctly. Thanks so much for the exercises, I plan to implement these ASAP.

  • @gavinthomas5591

    For the exercise with the resistance band and yoga block, should I contract the front of the ankle when leaning forward? Or should I just relax the entire ankle when leaning forward? Thanks, love your videos!

  • @staceg2003
    @staceg2003 Před 4 měsíci

    Passed the test on both ankles although it felt tight and a bit uncomfortable. My bigger problem is overall stiffness particularly on the outsides of the ankle, so I think the last exercise you demonstrated will be the most valuable for me.

  • @michellebland5825
    @michellebland5825 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Thank you so much for this video, I've been searching years for this information. I passed the test but I've always struggled to point my toes as my ankles aren't flexible that way, it's very frustrating. Will doing these exercises improve this and allow me to point my toe? Hopefully 😬

    When I rolled my ankle & snapped the fibula several years ago, the orthopedic surgeon told me it is the #1 most common surgery he performs, several times every week. One second of instability and a silly fall, and it led to 3 months in a cast and 3 YEARS of physical therapy to get back to normal. Ankle strength & stability are no joke! The titanium plate & screws I'll have in my ankle for the rest of my life are proof. ❤

    Really informative thank you....I can only get an inch away from the wall in the first excercise, then my knee won't touch it🥺.. as for the wall excercise, lifting the toes up.....I barely clear the fur of the carpet🥺...perhaps just enough to slide a piece of paper under!!!!😢 will this improve with time? I'm a horse rider, have been for 40yrs plus....apparently I have very tight hamstrings, according to my osteopath...Will these excercises help those too? Thank you

    @Aima952 Před 3 měsíci

    I'm so close to passing the hand test! I am trying to get an 'Asian Squat' and ankle mobility (+ extra long femurs) is holding me back. I'm technically touching the heal to the ground but literally no weight in it. I'm going to be as consistent as I can with adding these back of calf exercises to my cool downs.

  • @CK-kh7co
    @CK-kh7co Před 4 měsíci +1

    Perfect timing. I could so not pass the mobility test, I only can be 2cm from the wall😂 but I already knew, because I can't do a yogi squat. I try to work on this, thanks for the exercises

  • @CrusinVK
    @CrusinVK Před 4 měsíci

    Pass the hand test. was shown it many years ago after a Basketball ankle sprain.
    also, they recommend doing the Inversion/Eversion ankle work eith the band 90deg perpendicular to your leg. (rather than in a line as you showed in the video.)
    the perpendicular position allows for more tenson against the band.

    I have weak ankles, always have. I had 2-3 sprains before I was 20YO and my ankles have always been an Achilles heel (ha ha). Thanks for the anatomy exercises and the inversion/exversion exercises. Not doing those leads to shin splints and nobody wants that.

  • @ashleycurzon6348
    @ashleycurzon6348 Před 4 měsíci

    I can pass the one hand test with my left ankle easily but because i sprained my right ankle multiple times i can only manage 4 fingers at a push (whenever i try to extend my right ankle it involuntarily moves my foot to the side like its drawing a backwards C shape), also i dont have resistance bands and my stairs are in a very awkwad position so is there any other way to do these exercises?

    "Needs a little bit of work" 🤔 My heel is up before knee even reaches in line with toes, absolutely miles off 🥺. You've got 2 inches + of skirting board before you even start moving the foot out👍 I've tried a lot of these things over time, but it's never anything lasting, wake up like Groundhog day, nothing has changed back to square 1, depressing. Always wanted to perform a resting squat, but never without a large block under heels and that feels abnormal under feet. I even use foam pads between thighs and calves because my knees are so fragile, even then I can only manage 10 minutes max. I'm only 30, have never injured any of these joints so it's a frustrating mystery when you have genuinely tried to dedicate yourself to try and improve and get nowhere.
