These 2 exercises are for lateral ankle sprains aka. rolled ankles. Strengthening the peroneal and tibialis posterior muscles will help stabilize the ankle. These execises should be supplemented with range of motion exercises to improve mobility in the foot and ankle. Further along in the rehab process the focus will be on balance and plyometrics exercises.

Runners knee, otherwise know as patella femoral pain syndrome, is caused by tension along the lateral muscles of the hip and thigh. Tension in the IT band, quads, and gluts cause the knee cap to track laterally out of alignment which results in knee pain. Foam rolling these lateral muscles will correct this tracking issue in the knee cap.

Some common injuries I use to this exercise for is for ankle sprains, ACL knee rehab, piriformis syndrome. You can make this exercise easier by reaching for the knee or the upper thigh. Make this exercise harder by closing your eyes.

Upper back stiffness is a common cause for neck and shoulder pain. This exercise works on stretching the upper back to promote rotation and extension in the upper back. You can foam roll the upper back after this exercise to promote more extension in the T-spine.
