Want fewer ankle sprains and more ankle mobility?

The subtalar joint is the connection between your talus and your heel bone (calcaneus) that rocks your ankle side-to-side. We need this movement in order to have a solid gait pattern and be able to deal with ground that is sloped, or you step on something like a rock or a cat toy.

Below I offer 3+ options for a subtalar mobilization exercise using different props and positions for improving sensory input to your brain.

The props I use are:

  • chair

  • resistance band

  • towel

  • 1/2 ball or small bowl

  • yoga mat

Have a go and let me know what prop works best for you!
