Lack of Ankle Mobility has a negative impact on just about every weight bearing exercise. While most people who are restricted at the ankle struggle with dorsiflexion. Merely focusing on improving that pattern at the ankle rarely has the large impact that we are looking for with our manual interventions. The foot and ankle are very complex and compensations happen throughout these areas in response to poor movement patterns. In this video, we will take a multi faceted approach to the complex issue of improving ankle mobility.
