downey Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Does anyone know any ankle exercise to help stabilize my ankles while running? I've done a particularly large amount of crack climbing this year (for me). I'm no doc but I think that may be a contributing factor to my recent sprained ankles while trail running. any other thoughts on the subject are appreciated as well. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordansahls Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Assuming that you are past the RICE phase you should start working on general strength and proprioception exercises (balance). Really, you should go see a PT. If that fails and you want to take the chance doing rehab on your own you could try some of the exercises on this site: http://www.mckinley.illinois.edu/handouts/anklesprain/anklesprain.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genepires Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 solid info on that link I have also heard of drawing the alphabet with the foot. (keeping the legs still, trace out the letters of the alphabet with toes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
