ANKLE INVERSIONS
Ankle inversions are a strengthening movement where you turn the sole of your foot inward, toward your body's midline. The motion is driven largely by the tibialis posterior and tibialis anterior, muscles that support the arch and the inner ankle. Sit or lie with your leg extended and rotate the foot inward in a slow, controlled arc while keeping your shin still, so the effort stays focused on the ankle rather than the hip. A resistance band looped around your forefoot and anchored to the outside adds load. Move through the full available range and control the return rather than letting the foot drop back quickly. Training inversion alongside eversion builds balanced strength around the ankle, supports the arch of your foot, and contributes to overall joint stability for walking, running, and changes of direction.
