Ankle Movement – Move

Feel SOMA Ankle Program

 Ankle movement is often compromised by daily stressors such as repetitive tasks, occupational demands, dehydration, trauma, or emotional tension. Traditional rehabilitation approaches, focused mainly on stretching and strengthening, often fail to create lasting improvements in ankle function.

At Feel SOMA, we embrace a more holistic and inclusive reconditioning method. Rather than isolating a single tissue, we address the entire system — nerves, muscles, bones, fascia, skin, blood and lymph. This approach reflects the interconnected nature of the body, highlighting the importance of neural communication, fluid flow, and mechanical patterns.

The program is specifically designed for individuals with limited time and who may not have access to external tools (rollers, balls, etc.). Instead, it utilises targeted Fascial Mobilisers — precise, low-speed, low-force movements that engage fascia and bone but all integrates with all other tissues. These movements restore freedom in restricted areas, enhance tissue adaptability, and promote integration across the whole system.

Program Guide

• Duration– 10 – 15 minutes.
• When– Simple and effective in any environment; suitable before, during, or after activity. Stand alone or integrate into existing programs.
• Flow– Perform on both sides, then repeat on the more restricted side.
• Terminology– Techniques may sound unfamiliar, but our instructional videos and coaching tips ensure confidence and success.

Key Technique

• SFM (Self Fascial Mobilisers): Low force, low speed motion to reconnect myofascial tissues. They are everyday movement patterns, not stretches – 45–60s each.

Key Reminders

• Breathe diaphragmatically throughout movement— breath drives tissue adaptation.
• Keep movements slow, and rhythmical — nothing should be forced.
• Follow the videos until confident, before practising independently.
