Isometric Eversion
Press outside of foot against resistance without movement. Strengthens peroneal muscles, critical for lateral ankle stability and sprain prevention.
Stop if
Choose an easier exercise if pain reaches 6 out of 10 or becomes sharp. Stop and rest if pain reaches 8 out of 10.
This is the general ClapMove rule. This exercise has no extra stop rule of its own.
