32 min mobility basics w/ Alan: ankle dorsiflexion
July 2025

32m
Ankle dorsiflexion is the action that pulls the knee over toes or lifts the top of the foot up towards the knee. This action is necessary for going into a deep squat, helps in lunging patterns, and helps in stabilizing the knee from below. This class is focused on increasing range of motion and strengthening the ankle joint. Note: if you feel limited in the range of motion because of a blocked sensation in the front of the ankle, it may indicate limitations in your ankle capsule. Work on the tilt of your ankle with our classes on inversion and eversion.
