Station 1:
Dorsiflexion/Lunge
Why it Matters: Ankle mobility is vital for walking with a comfortable gait and performing squats, lunges and other movements, while also reducing the risk of falls, knee pain and other joint injuries.
How Can I Improve?
One-Leg Anterior Reach
The One-Leg Anterior Reach can improve ankle dorsiflexion by actively mobilizing the ankle joint through controlled, weight-bearing movement.
Banded Ankle Dorsiflexion
Banded Ankle Dorsiflexion improves ankle dorsiflexion by using resistance to mobilize the joint and increase range of motion through targeted tension and repetition.
