AS | Dorsiflexion ROM (powerband)

The use of the powerband for resistance helps to push the ankle into dorsiflexion, increasing that range of movement which is needed for normal movement such as walking and running.

Demonstration and Instructions

Attach your powerband/ theraband to a low down object such as a table or chair leg and put around the ankle you want to exercise as in the picture. Put the foot with the band in front and step the opposite one back. Start with toes off ground on front foot and slowly put them down on to floor and bend the front knee, leaning forward into a lunge position.
