While stretching the calf muscles helps to increase the extensibility of the plantar flexors, sometimes there can be a possible issue in the joint itself that doesn’t allow for full ROM of motion. When the joint gets “stiff” it can limit the ROM of the ankle because of the position of the bones in the joint, sometimes using mobilizations may help improve that. ⠀ This was shown by (Elizabet E et al 2009) in a preliminary study that looked at ankle mobility after prolonged immobilization and the effects of an anterior to posterior mobilization on ankle dorsiflexion. They found an increase in dorsi flexion ROM post mobilization of the joint. There is a way to do this yourself using a resist...
