DIThis silently „kills“ your knee👇
It‘s no secret…public research has shown that previous ankle injuries are often linked to later knee joint issues.
Unfortunately, just like I didn‘t know in the past, most people let their knee suffer in silence because of ankles that haven‘t fully recovered from a previous injury or a simply too weak because of modern lifestyle (shoes, ankle braces etc.)
Until something happens to the knee and then we think something with the knee is wrong. Which definitely could be the case, but your weak ankles certainly don‘t help.
So here‘s some ways to improve your ankles function and ability to work like they shoul be.
1. Lateral Ankle Drill
This one shouldn‘t be pushed to the extremes. All we want is the ankle to be exposed to lateral movement, while keeping tension in it. Don‘t just passively roll to the sides.
2. Bent Knee Iso
Getting strong in this positions allows for efficiently regaining strength and stability around your ankle. You can play with slightly changing the knee angle to get some different stimulus. Going max effort is key here, we want the body to make adaptations!
3. Single Leg Hops
Keeping the ankle locked is the number 1 goal here. Create tension before you start hopping and go as long as you can, trying to always keep the tension (heel up and not dropping much opon impact on the floor). This creates amazing ankle strength and elasticity. Hopping slightly laterally gets some extra stimulus with always helps.
Try it out for yourself.
