How to do a ankle circle

  1. Sit tall on a chair and lift one foot off the floor by extending the leg slightly.
  2. Point the toes and begin rotating the ankle in a slow, controlled circle.
  3. Complete the desired number of circles in one direction, keeping the leg still.
  4. Reverse direction and perform the same number of circles the opposite way.
  5. Lower the foot and repeat with the other ankle.

Form tips

  • Move only the ankle joint while keeping the leg and knee stable.
  • Perform the movement slowly through the full range of motion.
  • Keep the upper body upright and relaxed throughout.
  • Avoid forcing the movement if you feel pain or discomfort.
