Description: Sitting or standing, place your foot flat on the floor. Slowly turn the sole of your foot inwards, keeping the heel stable, then return to the starting position in a controlled manner.

Progression: Gradually increase the number of repetitions or add a light resistance band when the movement becomes easy.
