The bilateral ankle eversion with theraband exercise targets the peroneal muscles on the outside of the lower leg, helping to improve ankle stability and prevent sprains. By working both ankles simultaneously, it builds balanced strength and control for walking, running, and sport. This exercise is commonly used in ankle rehab and for injury prevention in activities requiring lateral movement.

- Gently pull your feet away for each other and hold for a period of time determined by your Physiotherapist.
