Standing Ankle Inversion Eversion

Standing Ankle Inversion Eversion is a simple yet effective exercise focusing on the muscles around the ankle. This movement strengthens and stimulates flexibility in your ankles which helps in improving balance, stability, and aiding in the prevention of ankle-related injuries. It's often used for rehab after injuries to regain mobility and strength in the ankle. One rep consists of moving the foot inwards (inversion) and then outwards (eversion).
