Ankles are one of my big problem areas and when I do run (I'm just starting out) that tends to be the biggest area where I have pain. Another thing I have found that is helpful is to massage both ankles for a few minutes before stretching, with both hands, to literally "warm up" the joint. It seems to loosen and relax things so that the stretches are a little more effective. That was an old yoga tip that I have held on to for years. :-) Great article! V. Thanks for the tips!
