Cole Dano Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Coach has mentioned a particular device to be used for strengthening the ankle in supination and pronation. Does anyone recall what its called, or can it be described, shown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarun Suri Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Mr. Brady, do you know what gravity drops are? If I understand the use for this device correctly, I think gravity drops can achieve the same results without any equipment. I first learned about gravity drops from the Egoscue method.

Cole Dano Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 That's a nice vid!The one thing i'd add is finding a way to flex the foot under load, either hooking to a wall, or just putting the foot on the thigh and pulling from the sole side of the foot.Hartzel is a real character, it would would be interesting to take one of his courses.

Animalonfire Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 A very good and simple exercise we happend to discover in my gym is the one legged tibialis toe raise leaning against the wall. Simply stand with your back against the wall and stand on one leg - your foot somewhere around 20-80 cm away from the wall. Keep your leg straight and slowly raise your toes towards the ceiling, lower under control to the ground. If it is too easy, increase the distance of your foot from the wall and vise versa. Perform the required reps. Change legs and repeat.This exercise is very simple and doesnt require any equipment. It works because of a small bone called Calcaneus that protrude from the backside of our foot - our heel. This small protuberance allows for a lever to occur around the ankle joint when we perform the exercise - hence lifting the toes up.Side to wall for pronation and supination?
