The Alphabet Exercise as Physical Therapy for Ankle Pain

Video Transcript

Hi! My name is Monica and there is one more last range of motion exercise I’m going to show you here. A little bit more advanced than the previous 2 I’ve gone through. This one actually combines the movements of the first 2 . All it is, is just the alphabet exercise. What you do is you take your toe and you start trying to write out the alphabet with your toe. You start with A, B, C, D, E, F, G and so on. You can see how doing the simple motions, like A, is going to combine some of the up and down like we were doing before and the in and out as well. Like I mentioned before, this is a little bit more of an advanced exercise, because it is involving your whole ankle movement. You can start off really small. So small As or you can do bigger As. Again, you want to make sure this is always in a pain free range of motion. So smaller, if that’s what’s easier for you, causes less pain and moving out to the bigger letters once you have been able go through a pain free range.
