Resisted ankle inversion

  1. Sit on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you. Cross your good leg over your affected leg.
  2. Hold both ends of an exercise band in one hand and loop the band around the inside of your affected foot. Then press your other foot against the band.
  3. Keeping your legs crossed, slowly push your affected foot against the band so that foot moves away from your other foot. Then slowly relax.
  4. Repeat 8 to 12 times.
  5. It's a good idea to repeat these steps with your other leg.
