Many doctors, coaches, and athletes acknowledge that of all the joints in the body, the ankle is the most injured in sports. Strengthening ankle exercises, however, can greatly reduce chances of injury. One of the simplest exercises is the balance move of standing on one foot at a time for an equal amount of time on each foot. Resistance bands are another option for ankle strengthening and can be found in most fitness sections of stores. Another option is through isometric exercise, which involves sitting on the floor and pressing the foot against something solid and immovable.

Exercising the feet and ankles regularly is a great way to prevent injuries. If you have any foot or ankle concerns, contact Dr. Glen A. Beede of Fort Worth. Dr. Beede will treat your foot and ankle needs.
