Professional Rationale
A good exercise for those with restricted ankle ROM from chronic injury or post-immobilization. Most beneficial when coupled with joint mobilization.
Client Rationale
This is an exercise to stretch joint motion rather than to stretch a particular muscle.
Instructions
- Hook top of foot onto a chair or a table.
- Bend at the opposite knee to feel a stretch in the front of the ankle.
- Do not lean backwards.
- Do not lean forward.
- Do not bounce into the stretch.
