Short Class 139: Ankle Eversion
KINSTRETCH With Beard
•
25m
This will be a single joint focus class for Ankle Eversion
Equipment Needed: Something to prop your foot up (in eversion) and something to balance with. I’ll be using a slant board for my foot and sticks for balance, but you could also use a book or weight plate for your foot and place your hand on the wall for balance.
While we don’t naturally get a ton of range of motion in ankle eversion, it’s still very important to train this range because rotation is critical for the health of the ankle, especially during dynamic movements like running, jumping, hiking/walking, squatting, lunging, etc.
We’ll be working 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs in our eversion base. Like always, if after the first two rounds you're feeling taxed, you can skip the 3rd round if needed, or you can do it at a much lower intensity. Always listen to your body and go at your own pace.
It’s important to remember - when you’re training in areas of past injury/pain/dysfunction - it’s really important to keep your intensities levels low at first. The quality of tissue in these areas could be weak, so the amount of stress/force/load these tissues can absorb will be low at first. So if this is an area of weakness for you: keep those intensity levels low at first, especially during PAILs/RAILs, and gradually build up over time.
I hope you enjoy the class!
