Ankle mobility
If you are experiencing any or a combination of the things below, you may have poor ankle mobility.
- frequent ankle sprains
- unable to do a full squat (hip below knee) – heel raised up usually
- unable to do a lunge with front heel on floor
- shin pain
- knee pain
The list goes on….
Our ankles are made for mobility. If our ankles are not mobile, our knees (which require stability) will be forced to be mobile.
Here what you can do to improve your ankle mobility.

To further improve your ankle mobilty, you can do the drill at an angle. Your toe will be higher than your heel and continue with the same movement shown in the video.
If you feel stretch at your calves, then you have poor calves flexibility. Just remember to add some calves stretch.
If you don't know the different between "lock out" (mobility problem) or "stretch" (flexibility problem), then you will need help more people who know it.
