Soccer Specific Ankle Prehab
⚽️ Ankle Exercise Advice
.
Ankle sprains are one of the most common sport injuries, especially in soccer. Getting ⚽️ touches going again is one of my primary goals early in rehab. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t watch these exercises or perform them until after you get injured ‼️
.
If you play soccer frequently or plan to play again, take a proactive prehab approach now and address those ankles‼️ Demonstrated in this video are some ankle exercises with a ⚽️. You could perform these during your warm-up, as a drill in your practice, or as an active-cool down.
.
What is unique about a ⚽️ is that you can use it to mimic movement tests that we use as PTs. You can appreciate this concept with the clip showing a modification of the forward reach test 👉 reaching forward with my foot on the ball. Why the forward reach test🤔👇
.
⚽️This tests ankle ROM in the foot that is on the ground and not in contact with the ball⚽️
.
Simply adding a ⚽️ to exercises for soccer players is an excellent way to make the session that much more enjoyable #soccer #futbol #ankle #anklesprain
