Stiff ankles can affect more than just your feet.
Limited ankle mobility can influence how you squat, walk, run and even climb stairs, sometimes placing extra stress on your knees and hips.
Here's a simple self-mobilisation exercise you can try to encourage better ankle movement.
Remember: you should feel a gentle stretch—not pain. If your symptoms persist or you're unsure what's causing the stiffness, it's always best to have it assessed by a physiotherapist.
Save this exercise for your next mobility session.
