The Importance of Accessory Exercises in Rehabilitation

Accessory exercises play a crucial role in rehab programs for athletes recovering from lower leg injuries. By emphasizing exercises like pistol squats and razor curls, practitioners can strengthen both the quadriceps and hamstrings, which are vital for ankle and calf recovery. Strengthening these muscle groups promotes overall stability in the lower leg, allowing for better rehabilitation outcomes. This approach addresses not only the injured areas but reinforces the synergy between various muscle groups, enhancing their performance during movement.
