Strength exercise
Ankle Eversion (Resistance)
How to do it
- Sit with the working leg extended and loop a resistance band around the outside of the forefoot, anchoring the far end to a fixed point.
- Keep the knee stationary and the lower leg relaxed so the movement isolates the ankle joint.
- Turn the sole of the foot outward against the band, leading with the outer edge of the foot.
- Move through a controlled range, feeling the effort along the outer lower leg where the peroneus brevis works.
- Pause briefly at the end of the outward turn before slowly returning to the start.
- Keep steady tension on the band throughout the set instead of letting the foot snap back.
