Ankle pain can be frustrating. What helps? Exercises for your knees, quads, and glutes help. Just like the song “The Skelton Dance” states: “Your heel bone connected to your ankle bone, Your ankle bone connected to your leg bone and so on…”. Everything is connected. Once you have resolved the ankle pain, keep doing the stretches and exercises to prevent the pain from returning. Work with a physiotherapist and a Pilates teacher to help with pain and discomfort through the whole chain. They can help keep you pain-free.
