Technique

How to perform Flat-Band Ankle Inversion

  1. Sit with your working leg supported and loop a flat therapy band around the forefoot.
  2. Secure the other end to a stable anchor on the outside of the working foot so the band pulls the foot outward.
  3. Start near neutral with the band taut.
  4. Turn the sole inward without rotating the knee or hip or curling your toes.
  5. Return slowly to neutral, then complete the repetitions on the other side.
