Description: Sit or lie down, place a hand or a support under your foot to assist with ankle mobilization. Slowly perform full ankle movements in all directions (flexion, extension, inversion, eversion), gently assisting to achieve a comfortable range of motion.

Tips: Keep the movement controlled and avoid pain. Breathe calmly and do not overexert yourself.

Progression: Gradually increase the range of motion and decrease manual assistance as mobility improves.
