Ankle pains

Often in the past I have had pain in my ankles (mostly at the front but sometimes in the sides too) when walking briskly, or doing yoga. I have asked a lot of yoga teachers for advice but none of it seemed to work. In my first run yesterday I tried to land on the middle of my foot, which seemed to help.

Has anyone else experienced similar, and overcome it?

Thanks

There are ankle strengthening exercises on the web that may help.

Running will strengthen all your leg joints in time.

Thanks I’ll see what I can find, it’s just always bothered me as it has always effected my exercise routines. But as you say running will help, so that may be the answer
