Quite often, hip mobility and thoracic spine are one of the main focus for improvements in mobility, but only a little attention is paid to ankle mobility. It is vital not to forget the importance of ankle mobility! Ankle mobility refers to the flexibility of the ankle joint and other surrounding muscles and tendons around it. When your ankle is flexible, you have a better range of motion during your activities.

If you have restricted ankles, it is essential to boost your performance by doing some ankle exercises and stretching to improve your mobility and strength. Also, strengthening your ankles will help you walk properly and prevent your knee and hip muscles from weakening. It also supports and improves your performance in sports, running, and dancing.

Ankle Strengthening Benefits

  • Increases your proprioception, a technical term for your body’s ability to know where it is in space when you are moving.
  • Strengthen your ankles and help you give a proper walking gait. 
  • If you are usually wearing high heels for long periods, these exercises can help counter the stress on your ankle joints.

Other common individuals, such as non-athletes, also need to have strong ankles. If you are an older person, exercising your ankles and making them strong can improve your balance and stability and prevent you from falling. It is a good idea to check with your doctor before starting a new ankle exercise routine, such as stretching, especially when you are recovering from an illness or injury.
