    As a runner who is training for a marathon, these foam rollers kzread.infoUgkx9XSsjzA4f84VmhBCHlyhec7XILIxennL are really good for sore and tight muscles. This one is a good size (mine is the purple, 36 inches) not too big but big enough to work and roll both my legs at the same time - I took a photo holding the roller next to me just to provide a better representation of its size. I noticed some reviewers who complained that this is, “just a foam noodle”… and yes, that’s exactly what it is. It’s a high density foam roller. It is absolutely NOT the same consistency/strength/durability/ or texture as a ‘pool noodle’ thought and I disagree entirely with those that say so. As a former collegiate athlete and marathon runner, I’m comfortably giving this roller 5 stars. It’s lightweight and durable and does just what I need it to do at a budget-friendly price. Overall, I have no complaints and am happy with it!

It was very badly but I started moving my foot and now I can walk. An orthopedic doctor told me that I needed a cast with out even doing an mri or ultrasound. I have a lot of range of motion on my ankle. I was wondering if I still needed a cast even tho I can walk and have a lot of rom?

Climbing down stairs is still a slight issue but overall its good. I cannot run yet or do weighted squats. The pain is about a 2/10 when Im exercising my ankle with stretching and movement.

    Hi Squat Uni! I've sprained my same ankle multiple times and never really did any proper care before. After the most recent sprain, I can walk for a mile or two but there's a discomfort that always appears. Would it be helpful to add the short foot and balance exercises into my daily routine to strengthen my joints? And is it okay for me to keep up with my other functional training despite the ankle discomfort that I feel? Cheers!

    So useful (and timely!) thank you! What about when you have been moving it and weight bearing and doing exercises and it feels worse the day after and the swelling increases again, is that a sign to back off a bit? I presumed that was a sign to rest but now I know better!

  • @andriesrosseau3197

    @andriesrosseau3197

    Жыл бұрын

    A lot of new and extra swelling is a sign you are still overdoing it. The message of the video is indeed to keep moving as much as possible, but with an intensity that eventually decreases your swelling over time. Dosage is the key word here. Better to have lighter and more movement, than heavy and less movement because you have to stop due to swelling/pain. A little bit of pain and new swelling during your rehab exercises is fine though, since you are stimulating the (damaged) tissue and providing it with good bloodflow and nutrients, but it should progressively get less over time and the small "pains" should also stop within about 30s after you stop the exercise, otherwise you probably overdid it. Hope this helps.

Avoid: Anti Inflammatory medication as they may impair tissue regeneration. Compress: Taping or strapping to reduce the swelling Educate: about active recovery, soft tissue manipulation (when, where, why), outcome and time frame. After a few days of PEACE your muscles will need LOVE Load: An active movement and exercise approach (with little or no pain) Optimism: the brain plays a key role in the rehabilitation. Vascularisation: Cardio workout to boost motivation and increase blood flow Exercise: to reduce the risk of re-injury
