Hey guys. It’s Fitness Friday!
Joseph Ciliberti asked a great question about exercises to improve ankle dorsiflexion for the overhead deep squat assessment. Poor ankle mobility can not only limit us on this assessment, but it can effect our posture and ability to use the ground during our swing and cause pain and injury to our knees.
Today’s video shows 2 strategies for improving ankle mobility. First, I would recommend spending some time on a foam roller or with a massage stick. This should help improve the available mobility in that ankle.
The 2nd exercise shown is a half kneeling ankle mobilization. Keeping your front heel flat on the ground, move your knee as far forward as you can. I would suggest moving the knee towards the big, middle and little toe and doing 5-10 reps in each direction.
