Resistance Band Ankle Eversion & Inversion
Strengthens the muscles on both sides of the ankle that turn the foot in and out.
What it helps
Strengthens the muscles that turn the foot in and out — the side-to-side stabilizers that protect the ankle from rolling and keep it steady on uneven ground.
How to do it
- Sit with a resistance band looped around the foot. For eversion: anchor the band on the inner side and turn the sole outward against it, then return slowly.
- For inversion: anchor on the outer side and turn the sole inward against the band.
- Keep the lower leg still — the motion is at the ankle and foot.
Tips
- Controlled, light resistance.
- Keep the shin still — only the foot turns.
Commonly done as 2–3 sets of 12–15 each, most days.
