Banded Shin Raises
Exercise Overview
The banded shin raises is a strengthening exercise for the ankle dorsiflexors. Start by looping a band around the top of your foot and anchor the other end to a stable object like a squat rack or sofa. Pull your foot into maximum range dorsiflexion (toes towards the shins) and hold it for up to 2 seconds. Slowly lower it back down into plantar flexion (toes pointing away from the shin).
