Top Foot & Ankle Exercises to Prevent Common Injuries

November, 2025

Your feet and ankles carry you through every step of your day — from walking and running to standing for long hours. Yet, they’re often overlooked until pain or injury occurs.
At Go Physical Therapy, we focus on keeping your foundation strong, stable, and injury-free through targeted physical therapy and guided exercise programs.

Why Foot and Ankle Strength Matter

The muscles, tendons, and ligaments in your feet and ankles play a vital role in balance, mobility, and shock absorption. Weakness or instability in these areas can lead to:

  • Ankle sprains
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Achilles tendon pain
  • Overuse injuries
  • Knee and hip misalignment from poor support

Regular, guided strengthening can help prevent these common issues while improving your overall movement quality.
