Word. I hurt my superior and inferior extensor retinaculum in my left ankle and had to do some physio to strengthen them again. All because I wore bad shoes and was very stationary during COVID lockdowns.
Had to get one of those exercise strap loop things and do exercises with it, and I still do the tips toe exercises for both ankles (one hand on wall, stand on one leg and move from flat foot to tip toe and back, for each leg, a few times a day).
You can increase that a little by standing toes on a step, heels free hanging, then going up and down. It’ll give your ankle a larger range of motion working the calf muscles more. If you’re ready for the next stage.
