Physiotherapy for Ankle Dorsiflexion Restriction with Mulligan MWM
Do you feel stiffness in your ankle while walking or squatting? Is it difficult to bring your knee forward over your foot? Do you notice limited movement after an ankle injury? Are you searching for a physiotherapist for ankle mobility improvement? These symptoms may indicate restricted ankle dorsiflexion.
What Is Ankle Dorsiflexion Restriction? Dorsiflexion is the movement of bringing the foot upward toward the shin. Restriction can occur due to previous sprains, joint stiffness, tight calf muscles, or scar tissue. Limited dorsiflexion can affect walking, running, squatting, and increase the risk of further injuries.
Mulligan Mobilization with Movement (MWM) involves applying a sustained glide to the ankle joint while performing active movement. This technique helps restore joint alignment, reduce pain, and immediately improve range of motion.
Treatment focuses on: MWM techniques for ankle mobility Calf stretching and flexibility exercises Strengthening ankle stabilising muscles Balance and proprioception training Functional movement retraining
Perform gentle ankle mobility exercises, stretch calf muscles regularly, avoid forcing painful movements, and stay consistent with rehabilitation exercises.
