Strength exercise

Ankle Eversion (Resistance)

How to do it

  1. 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.
  2. Keep the knee stationary and the lower leg relaxed so the movement isolates the ankle joint.
  3. Turn the sole of the foot outward against the band, leading with the outer edge of the foot.
  4. Move through a controlled range, feeling the effort along the outer lower leg where the peroneus brevis works.
  5. Pause briefly at the end of the outward turn before slowly returning to the start.
  6. Keep steady tension on the band throughout the set instead of letting the foot snap back.
