Elevated Banded Ankle Dorsiflexion

Exercise Overview

This exercises uses a light strength band to assist you deepening ankle dorsiflexion. The band is used to help the talus glide posteriorly as needed for smooth ankle dorsiflexion. Anchor the band to a stable object behind you and loop it around the foot just below the ankle joint. Keep the heel planted on an elevated surface like a plyobox or stepper. Lean forward with the knee using your torso - the extra bodyweight will help to push the ankle into dorsiflexion.
