I hope I am not violating any forum rules but I just wanted to share this with you all. I never realized I was always looking at the issue of preventing ankle injuries all wrong until I watched this guy. I tried these easy exercises and realized how bad my ankle "mobility" really is. I been doing them (just 10 for each side for each exercise= 90) in my office every day and already I feel the difference. It literally takes me less than 5 minutes. Check it out.

Ankle suppport boots saved my Camino many times. I inherited my Mom's determination, but also her weak ankles . There are many and frequent spots along the Camino where stepping in "the wrong way" could result on a sprained ankle. Good vodeo, good advice.

I would recommend some basic ballet ("releve" repetitions) for ankle strengthening.
