What it works

Ankle stabilisers, Glute med

How to do it

  1. 1Stand on one leg with a soft knee and hold for 30–45 seconds, gripping the floor with your toes.
  2. 2Progress it by closing your eyes, then standing on a cushion, then adding head turns or catching a ball.
  3. 3Ankle sprains wipe out proprioception — the joint's sense of its own position — and failing to retrain it is the single biggest reason ankles get re-sprained.
  4. 4Rebuild this before returning to sport.
