Physical Therapy Balance Exercises for Ankle & Foot Pain

Video Transcript

My name is Monica, and these next sets of exercises that I’m going to show you are for balance. What I want you to do is stand next to a wall or you can also have a counter top or a table in front of you if you want, are more comfortable with having both of your hands holding onto something. In this case, we’re going to use our wall right here. What I want you to do is pick an ankle, you can do an either ankle, but say our right ankle is the ankle that we sprained; we’ll start with this ankle. All I want you to do is just stay on one foot. If that’s easy for you go ahead and take your hand off the wall or off the counter top and try and hold it, just like this. If you need to lightly grab onto the wall or touchdown with your other foot that’s fine. Just make sure that you don’t lose your balance completely. If that’s easy then go ahead and close your eyes and try and maintain your balance on the one leg with your eyes closed.
