The purpose of ankle dorsiflexion exercises is to improve flexibility and strength in the muscles and ligaments surrounding the ankle joint, reducing pain and stiffness commonly experienced in conditions such as Achilles tendonitis or ankle sprains. By increasing the range of motion in dorsiflexion, individuals can better support their ankles during daily activities and prevent further injury.
