Peroneals Stretch Exercise
Builds strength and control by improving stability, coordination, and efficient movement.
Description
Peroneals stretch focuses on controlled movement and maintaining proper body alignment throughout the exercise. The goal is to create tension where needed while avoiding unnecessary strain or momentum. This helps improve movement quality, joint stability, and overall physical control.
Instructions:
- In a seated position, loop a belt, rope, or band around one foot. This will be your starting position.
- With the leg extended and the heel off of the ground, pull on the belt so that the foot is inverted, with the inside of the foot being pulled towards you. Hold for 10-20 seconds, and then switch sides.
Exercise FAQ
Should I bounce or stay still?
Stay controlled. Gentle movement is fine, but avoid bouncing that makes you lose control of the position.
When is the best time to do this stretch?
After training or as a recovery session when the body is warm. If done before lifting, keep it light and short.
What’s a common mistake with stretching?
Forcing range and holding your breath. Relax into the stretch with slow breathing and a position you can control.
