Ankle Weights
Description
How are ankle weights used in climbing rehabilitation?
Ankle weights are commonly used in rehab programs for hip, knee, and ankle injuries. They add resistance to exercises like straight leg raises, hip abduction, and clamshells — movements that build the lower limb strength needed to return to climbing safely.
Can these be used on the wrist as well?
Yes. The adjustable strap fits both the ankle and wrist, making them useful for upper and lower body rehab exercises.
How do I know which weight to start with?
Start with a weight that allows you to complete your exercises with good form and no pain. The 2.5 lb option is appropriate for most rehabilitation starting points. Increase resistance gradually as strength improves.
