How to build up strong, resilient ankles - Episode 9

Today is talking all about ankle stability and how to avoid twisting your ankle

It is one of the most common injuries in the world. Most people have twisted their ankle at some point and could have challenges with ankle stability

Once you do it once, it is much more likely to happen again.. and again.. and again..

Building up strength in the foot, ankle, leg and hip is key to avoiding future injury.

Balance is also key to injury prevention.

To train balance, just like strength, you need to gradually progress it.

You can do that by:
- Changing to softer surfaces
- Moving your other limbs, drawing alphabet with your leg or juggling with your arms
- Moving your eyes around - works well to watch the balls you are juggling
- Closing your eyes
- Adding cognitive load - e.g. counting backwards by 7s from 100
