How can you better look after your ankles?
How does the ankle work? What can you do to strengthen and protect your ankles? Chris and Xand van Tulleken discuss how best to look after your ankles throughout your life.
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.
