Maintaining ankle strength and stability is an important way to future-proof your body, improve balance and help to prevent injuries from falls.
It sounds obvious, but when your ankles are stable and strong, they help to keep you upright. But when they are weak, it impacts the way you walk, so you’re more likely to lose your balance, roll or twist your ankle, and you’ll have a higher chance of falling over and hurting yourself. It could even cause issues in your hips and knees.
