The Ankle Jam

Limitations in ankle dorsiflexion have ramifications up the biomechanical chain, including knee and lower back pain. In order to understand the impact, it is important that one has a clear understanding of the anatomy and kinesiology of the functional foot.

Common limiting factors in ankle dorsiflexion are discussed along with manual therapy and exercise interventions. Video links to manual therapy demonstrations are included.

Understanding how to restore normal dorsiflexion will enhance a therapist’s ability to treat orthopedic injuries in the entire functional movement system.
