Ankles, knees, hips and lower back
Tibialis Raise: Wall
Strengthens the muscles at the front of your shins that lift your toes, so each step clears the ground and your ankles feel steadier.
How to do it
- 1
Lean your back against a wall
Walk your feet forward about a foot, hip width apart, knees soft.
- 2
Keep your heels on the floor
The heels stay down and carry you for the whole exercise.
- 3
Lift the fronts of your feet
Raise your toes and the balls of your feet toward your shins, then lower them with control.
- 4
Repeat for about a minute
Fewer lifts or a smaller lift is always fine. Stepping the feet closer to the wall makes it easier.
What to watch for
Burning or sharp pain along the shins. Take a pause, make the lifts smaller, and stop if it keeps building.
Ways to adjust it
- Fewer lifts
- Smaller range
Before you try it
Move within a range that stays comfortable. Stop if this brings on sharp pain, dizziness, or symptoms that travel down an arm or a leg, and speak to a clinician before repeating it.
One movement is a start. A session is the thing.
A few questions about your body and how it is today, and Vinys builds a session around it, including which movements to leave out.
