Turn And Load!
We call the foot & ankle the foundation of movement because, design-wise, that's exactly what they are.
But they're flexible foundations, meaning they respond to changes in the ground beneath them by shifting and moving to optimally support the body as it moves.
At least they're supposed to.
Nowadays, where we navigate artificial 2D environments most of the time, our ankles rarely get the kind of varied feedback they need to develop flexible reactivity in the first place.
Throw in the overprotection of shoes, sedentary living, and maybe a couple sprains, and the average person's ankles are already a stiff, atrophied, dysfunctional mess by 30.
By 50 or 60, with no attempt to intervene?
Movement starts grinding to a halt. Your foundation has eroded.
Luckily, help isn't far away. It's literally right underneath you.
Yes, choosing to spend some time loading the ankle in a variety of positions against the ground will go a long way to restoring your flexible foundation:

Recommended dosage: 3-5 min daily, 30-45 sec at a time, per foot, per position. Massage the bottoms of your feet with a ball for 2-3 minutes after.
YOU'RE NOT BROKEN. YOU JUST NEED TO MOVE BETTER.
