Half-Kneeling Ankle Dorsiflexion with a Dowel A progression from the wall mobilization is to use a dowel. The dowel is an important part of the ankle mobility drill. You begin by half kneeling, then placing a dowel in front of your 2nd or 3rd toe. Now, when you lean into dorsiflexion, make sure your knee goes outside of the dowel.
Ankle dorsiflexion is vital for many activities.
