Lunges

Although mainly a knee exercise, lunges can be used to improve the balance and strength at the ankle joint.

Technique:

Stand with the injured foot in front of the other, toes facing forwards
Bend the back knee down towards the floor, keeping the back upright
Stop just before the knee touches the ground and push yourself back up again
Start with a low number of reps, such as 3 sets of 10

How Often:

3 sets of 10, twice daily
