Feel SOMA Ankle Ring Program
Ankle movement is a cornerstone of human motion and a vital influence on tissue health, circulation, and performance. Within Feel SOMA, the ankle is viewed as an integral hub — linking mobility, stability, and fluid flow with the body’s natural biofeedback system.
Why the Ankle Matters
- Mobility & Stability – A well-functioning ankle allows balance, agility, and strength across walking, running, lifting, and daily living.
Circulation & Fluid Flow – Movement of the ankle supports blood circulation and lymphatic pumping, aiding oxygen flow, hormone and nutrient transfer waste collection and disposal.
Biofeedback – The ankle constantly signals the brain about positioning, ensuring coordinated, efficient motion.
Inflammation & Health – Restrictions may trigger joint pain, tissue degeneration, pooling at joints, and digestive issues. Restoring mobility maintains integrity and resilience of all.
Performance & Injury Prevention – Optimal ankle function boosts athletic output while reducing stress on knees, hips, and spine.
Aligned with Feel SOMA’s holistic approach — Neural Response, Mechanical Patterns, and Fluid Flow — ankle techniques support integrated wellbeing, performance and longevity.
Program Guide
Duration – 30-45 minutes.
When – Before, during, or after sessions. Suitable for any environment.
Flow – Treat both sides of the body, then repeat on the more restricted side.
Terminology – Feel SOMA uses innovative language and techniques. Simply follow the videos and coaching cues.
Techniques
SOE (Self Osteo Engagement): Roll on bony sections – max 30s.
SME (Self Myofascial Engagement): Roll on muscular sections – 60–90s.
Wall vs Floor: Choose wall (standing) or floor (lying), whichever is more comfortable to use roller.
SFM (Self Fascial Mobilisers): Low force, low speed motion to reconnect myofascial tissues. They are everyday movement patterns, not stretches – 45–60s each.
Strength Integration
Perform 2 sets × 45s per exercise, using comfortable weight.
- Increase as required
Key Reminders
Breathe consistently throughout movement— breath drives tissue adaptation.
Focus on rhythm and timing in movement — nothing forced.
Follow the videos until confident independently.
Complete the full program 3–5 times before varying and choosing most effective protocols.
