How to do the Knee-to-Wall Ankle Stretch

1. Kneel facing a wall with your front foot about a hand's length away.
2. Keep the front heel grounded and drive your knee forward toward the wall.
3. Hold for a few steady breaths, then back off and repeat or switch sides.

Tips

• Scoot your foot farther from the wall as mobility improves to deepen the stretch.

Adjustments

• Rest your hands on your front knee or the wall for balance.
• Move the foot closer if your knee cannot reach the wall yet.
