Your ankle needs 15 degrees of dorsiflexion to absorb a stride. Without it, every joint above compensates.

When the ankle can't dorsiflex properly, the foot tends to collapse inward, and the knee, hip, and lower back pick up the slack. ㅤ 1. Half-Kneeling Ankle Dorsiflexion Stretch, 30s each side 2.
