Strength exercise
Ankle Inversion (Resistance)
How to do it
- Sit with the working leg extended and loop a resistance band around the inside of the forefoot, anchoring the far end to a fixed point on the opposite side.
- Keep the knee still and the lower leg relaxed so only the ankle produces the movement.
- Turn the sole of the foot inward against the band, leading with the inner edge of the foot.
- Draw the foot across the midline in a controlled arc, feeling the effort along the inner shin where the tibialis posterior works.
- Pause briefly at the end of the inward turn before slowly letting the foot return to the start.
- Keep the motion slow and controlled through the full set rather than using a quick snapping motion.
