Without a doubt, the most common exercise recommended for improving foot strength is pointing into a theraband. While it’s not a bad exercise per se, it’s one of my least favorite exercises for feet and ankle strength.
In this post and video, I’m going to show you a much more effective way to point into a theraband – a new take on this exercise that will turn a ‘meh’ exercise into a super-charged workout for your feet!

Testimonials
“I’m so grateful to Robin for helping me get moving again after a torn knee ligament. She’s supported me every step of the way, from painful hobble to now fully back to classes.”
– Katie Birks, North Yorkshire, UK
“I presented with terrible pain in my right shoulder from years of aerial classes. Robin assessed me and gave me great tips, which got things feeling better quickly. I was given exercises specific to my condition to complete daily. At each further visit I was reassessed and my exercises would be changed to suit the progress I had made. Five appointments later I am about 95% better, I have been discharged with some “maintenance” exercises and have returned to training and performing full time. Robin has been superb, she has repaired my painful condition in no time at all. I am so grateful and definitely recommend Robin to anyone in pain.”
– Simone Burgen, North Yorkshire, UK
“Robin’s technique improvement program has been a game changer for me. I’ve spent years muddling through classes, really frustrated with my lack of progress. After only 3 months practicing her exercises, my dancing has improved so much! II’m especially pleased with the developpe exercises she gave me. When I started the program, I could barely get to 90 degrees. Now, my developpe is the best in my dance school.”
– Elaina, New Mexico, US
