3 good ankle and feet stretches and my stretching routine


The ankle and feets are just as important to stetch as the rest fo the body, but many forget them. To be able to run and move correctly you need to take care of your ankle and feets aswell. Poor mobility in these areas can be one cause of knee pain and increases the risk of injury.
Here are 3 different but excellent ankle and feet stretches.

Deep squats is excellent tests for ankle and feet mobility. Try doing an deep squat before and one after the stretches and see if the exercises has helped you :)

I recommend doing every stretch for about 2 minutes




I also explain some about my stretching routine. I almost weekly get the question on how and when to stretch. Its  individual, but here is some short tips:


  • Give the muscles some time to recover after training before you stretch. After a hot shower or sauna is idealy.
  • Dont do deep stretches before an important strength performance since it decreses strength
  • Dynamic light stretches is always good to do before strength training though, so that you are able to do the exercises in correct movement patterns.
  • Deep stretching and mobility is good to do on a separate day
  • Tools as triggerpoint ball and foamrollers are excellent tools to propperly open up yor body, without risking to overstretch something.
