Ankle-Strengthening Exercises

Adding the resistance band helps to strengthen the muscles of the arch. And a strong arch helps prevent overpronation (excessive rolling inward of the ankle).

• Sit on the floor with your right leg extended. Wrap one end of a resistance band around the ball your right foot and hold the other end in your hands. Keep toes flexed up.
• Slowly press your foot forward pointing it as you maintain the band's resistance, then return to the starting position.
• Do 20 reps, then repeat on left side.
