INCREASE Ankle Dorsiflexion: 4 Unique Exercises (NOT Calf Stretches!)

Video Description

Ankle Dorsiflexion range of motion is one of the most neglected - but important - ranges to work. If you have a history of ankle sprains, overpronation or flat feet, chances are your ankle dorsiflexion needs to improve. But conventional static stretching will not give you the results you're after and could even increase your risk of achilles tendon issues or calf muscle strains. In this presentation, you'll learn exactly why dorsiflexion ROM is so important, how it contributes to both performance issues with squatting and sprinting, as well as injuries like achilles tendinopathy, ACL tears, ankle sprains, hamstring tears, patellar tendonitis / PFPS and more. You'll also discover my powerful 4 exercise routine called the Ankle Dorsiflexion RSR, which stands for 'Range Specific Routine', that will increase your dorsiflexion ROM in as little as 2-4 weeks when you do it 2-3 times a week (it only takes about 15 minutes to do).
