Ankle Dorsiflexion Joint Mobilization

Following ankle injuries such as sprains, it is important to work on ankle dorsiflexion mobility as this movement often becomes limited when not addressed. Besides simply stretching into dorsiflexion, simple partner techniques can be implemented to mobilize the joint in order to gain mobility more quickly. Today’s video shows a technique that can be implemented with very little training. To perform this mobilization, use your hands to push the talus in a posterior direction while your partner stretches into dorsiflexion. Give this one a try and let me know if you have any questions!
