Building Ankle Inversion Tolerance

This is a great exercise progression well into inversion ankle sprain rehab. Thanks to Dr. Nicole Surdyka, DPT for the video!

A lateral or inversion ankle sprain occurs when the ankle goes into plantar flexion and inversion (toes going down and in). . With a two fold risk of reinjury within a year of an initial ankle sprain, it is important to make your ankles even more stable than they were prior to the injury. This means they need to be able to withstand greater plantar flexion and inversion forces. . This progression of exercises can help you to build greater tolerance of ankle inversion. I wouldn’t do these right after an ankle sprain, but they can be added in as tolerated.
