ankle flexibility and strength and maintenance


Recommended Posts

So I was running a lot and not climbing this fall due to hand injury. Got better just in time to head to Indian Creek for Creeksgiving and hiked around a bunch with lots of cams and ropes and climbed a lot of long hand cracks. Result: ankles feeling tweaky and swollen.

 

I've had this happen before. When I'm running a lot the ankles are pretty stiff and don't move much. When I hike up hills my feet can get pretty dorsi-flexed. When I crack climb my foot jams are rolling my foot and ankle to the inside. The combo or sudden transition can be somewhat unpleasant.

 

Question: anyone got ideas for how to avoid this in the future or just exercises that seem to be particularly helpful for helping the ankles stay strong with both sports? Ya know, besides being reasonable and careful 9_9

 

Thanks,

 

Sam
