Описание: Top 3 things I’d do for ankle instability or balance issues:

Here’s the “why” behind each move ⬇️

👉 Focus on control

Single leg stance (and progressions like the Airplane) build balance, proprioception, and joint stability. It’s not about how long you can hold, it’s about how well you can control the movement. Stability starts with control.

👉 Mobilize the ankle

Limited ankle dorsiflexion (the ability to bring your shin forward over your foot) can throw off your entire movement pattern. The Knee to Wall drill helps restore that mobility so you can walk, squat, and move more efficiently.

👉 Stretch what’s tight

The soleus is often overlooked but when it’s tight, it limits ankle range and can make your balance feel stiff or restricted. Stretching it helps reduce tension and improve your overall foot and ankle mechanics.

🔁 Repeat consistently, not just when it hurts.

🧠 Movement = maintenance.

Ask your physio if these are right for you!
