How can you look after your ankles?

Welcome to What’s Up Docs?, the podcast where identical twin doctors Chris and Xand van Tulleken cut through the confusion around every aspect of our health and wellbeing.

How can you look after your ankles throughout your life? For such small regions of your body, they’re pretty mighty!

In this episode, Chris and Xand van Tulleken discuss ankles and how to best strengthen and protect them. From uncovering the biology behind one of the most heavily stressed parts of the body, to discussing tips and tricks for strengthening your ankles, preventing injury or managing existing issues, the twins explore the most important aspects of ankle health.

To help break down the practical details, Chris and Xand are joined by Genevieve Tawiah, a performance physiotherapist who has worked with West End shows, theatre tours, Badminton England, and even Strictly Come Dancing, among many others.
