Got ankle pain? Ankle plantar flexion with a resistive band is a great way to strengthen your ankle after a sprain, strain or other injury.
To perform ankle plantar flexion with a resistive band:
- With your legs out in front of you, place a roll just under your ankle so your heel can move freely. Place a resistive band around the ball of your foot.
- Keeping your leg straight, push your foot down like you are pushing on a peddle. Control the band slowly back up.
