Peroneal Muscle Exercise
In this video, Dr. Brian Damhoff demonstrates the Peroneal Muscle Exercise—a seated, banded move to strengthen the outer ankle muscles and improve stability. Loop a band around both mid-feet, lift the working leg slightly, and roll the ankle inward then outward—keeping motion at the ankle, not the leg.
🔥 Benefits of the Peroneal Muscle Exercise:
- ✅ Strengthens peroneal muscles (outer shin/ankle)
- ✅ Improves ankle eversion control
- ✅ Enhances lateral stability and balance
- ✅ Helps prevent ankle sprains
- ✅ Subtle but powerful—perfect for rehab
📝 Exercise Details:
