Take the 2-minute tour ×  Years ago I tripped in a hole and got
a 3rd degree ankle sprain. One of the exercises the
physiotherapist told me was to use a bosu ball and do circles
with while standing with both feet on it. I think I stopped my
recovery exercises to early and am trying to strengthen my
ankle. I've been using the bosu ball but find it too hard to to
do circles. I always slip off. Is there any tips to make it
easier.  For example is it easier or hard to have feet spaced
far apart? What are other exercises I can do to strengthen my
ankle with a bosu ball?  EDIT: thanks for the feed back. I
forgot to mention I had been doing it with no shoes and my socks
slide against the slick surface of the bosu ball. Should I be
doing it with or without shoes?  share|improve this question The
less layers between your feet and the unstable surface, the
better your proprioception (and hence, balance). So, ideally, no
shoes and no socks. –  VPeric Mar 4 '13 at 23:03  2 Answers 2
The Bosu can be used on both sides -
