There are a number of exercises you can do to strengthen and stabilize your ankles as a way to prevent (or recover from) ankle sprains. In our experience, we have found the most helpful exercises to be the ones associated with the BlackBoard Basic, Human Locomotion ToePro, Human Locomotion Two-to-One Ankle Rockboard, and Naboso Kinesis Board foot gym tools. These tools are fantastic for improving ankle strength, and they allow you to target foot and ankle function from a variety of angles (and in a variety of ways).
Here are some resources from our site that discuss and demonstrate how you can put the above-mentioned tools to use for the purposes you inquired about:
Of course, we always recommend that you coordinate any post-ankle sprain recovery activities with your musculoskeletal health specialist to ensure that your needs are being met and that you are receiving the most personalized care possible.

If you have any additional questions about the above, or if you have other questions about natural foot health topics, please don't hesitate to reach out by leaving a comment below or reaching out through our site's contact form.
