Good information thank you for sharing

improving ankle mobility takes a long time, you have to be patient and do it daily if you have restricted ankle mobility.

This is such a good chanel! Thank you so much for the amazing quality content

Good exercises and instructions, thanks.

Amazing video! Thanks alot

Great video. Thank you!

Wow dude I can feel the benefits already, thanks

i eventually gave myself achilles tendinopathy trying to stretch the hell out of my ankles like this. maybe i was just weak idk, but now i have an emphasis on strength first for any mobility goals.

@@UnexpectedVidss yes, and to be fair to the video there is a number of strength exercises included. i just wanted to emphasize that passive stretching alone has the potential to be detrimental if you overlook strength. i've had a very sedentary lifestyle for much of my life which im sure was a major factor in my case. also, if you have achilles pain you might not want to do full range of motion on your calf raises right from the beginning. this channel has a video on that, too

Did you give yourself enough rest days? Tendons grow in length very slowly. You might want to take a few months to gradually increase your ROM

I like the equation Mobility = strength through flexibility. Go slow and work on being strong through those movements. Just being strong isn’t enough. Just being flexible isn’t enough. Go slow and increase that mobility. Then add additional strength methodically and carefully.

Hi, I am writing you here because I have a question about the patella instructions and it’s a year old, so I thought you might find my question here rather than there. My question is that you have examples of three levels, but in the box, where you list what to do, how many reps, etc. there are only two sessions listed even though in the instructions, there is a third level. Can you please explain this to me? Thanks

Can you please do a pec strain rehab video?

i broke my fib and im 8 months post operation, my flexion isnt nearly as good as my other foot but as you said, extra flexion might not be necessary. I can run 5km races now and rock climb again but im still short quite a bit of flexion. point being keep working hard and youll get better

That's amazing! I had the same surgery, spiral fracture on left leg fibula, and don't have much dorsiflexion but was an athlete and martial artist before that injury so trying to get back to that however I can. I improved greatly but not so I can run just yet or do a large majority of my older exercises. My surgery was in June 2023 so maybe I still need more time.

Your videos help me so much, do you have any knowledge about what common problems people with very big feet have?

i broke my ankle early feb, best advice i got from the medical staff was do the alphabet with my big toe, took a week after the cast came off to get me into physio best one they told me was heal raises. 12:13 this one kicks my ass and i love it

If i use a heel lift, and gradualy reduce the size of he, this could work?

I got a surgery done recently for O S trigonum removal & it’s been 8months since the surgery im in rehab , anytime i try to bring my knee forward it hurts near malleolus. Im clueless

60 seconds is NOT enough we are talking about join here. I had a very flexible dorsiflexion up until I injured my ankles and dancing on high heels 3-6 hours per day for 10 years. I could only move leas then 1" of staggered stance even thought I have a very strong calf strength and muscles. After 3 years of religiously practice staggered stance, I gained 2 more inches. Now I do step up with bend and weight hold for "2 minutes" per day per ankle and standing slant board and within a 6 month period I gained 2". Now I have another 3" to go to achieve 8" without force from the wall to my second toe so I can do pistol square and Olympic square with back straight.

@@ExcellenceAesthete 7- 5 x per week - I do - split exercises (2 in the morning and 3 in the evening while watching tv :) *1 min Elevated/step up banded and weighted dorsiflexion (each ankle) *1 min standing knee to wall hold (using body weight to push the heel down) (each ankle) *1 min deep squat weighted hold (leg as close together as possible with slightly back to wall/furniture) *1 min standing slant board (each leg) *50 x moving ankle left to right with light band (each ankle) Since I injured both left and right ankle on both sides in two different occasions, so if I skip those above exercises for a week due to travelling or etc., my ankles are slightly less mobile and stiff. Have good dorsiflexion is extremely important for going down the stair, hiking (down hill) , martial arts, squat and etc. especially for female who wear high heel for decades and always when we age. (in short mobility and flexibility is paramount in old age and so is muscle strength).

??? so how long do you spend fixing your ankles lol

I’m only 24 but I’ve always had issues with my ankle mobility. Recently I’ve been trying to work out but I cant even perform a squat without needing to raise my heels. I tried the test to measure between my knee and the wall- I had to have my toes directly up against the wall and even then my heel was lifting… I’m worried I have no chances to increase my mobility because I must have some kind of short calf muscle issues or something.

You just need to train like how the guy is performing in the video, you will get better at it, but you have to put efford in it. Try it like 3 or 4 times a week.

where can we find the pad which is shown at 1:10?

where can i get hose shoes ? :)

What kind of barefoot shoes are these in the vid?

Heres the weird thing though, when my feet is elevated, eg. on a chair or bench(4:25)or low half kneeling, my mobility is great, I can bend all the way down. However, when my feet is on the ground (eg. split squat is 0:42), I can barely reach 10 degrees of bend, when is that so?

my problem is that my heel can't even touch the ground that i can't perform these exercises . what should i do please

will this help with my right ankle being stiff from gouty arthritis?

Thanks!!! My poor dorsiflexion is worsening my chances of rehabbing my bad knee

The dorseflexion on my right foot is only 2.5 inches despite never having an injury 💀

Been an athlete my whole life and have always struggled with this issue. My mom has it and so does my brother. Is it purely genetic or can it be fixed? I’m sure I can improve it but I wanna know if there is some sort of genetic impingement or if anyone has the ability to squat with full range without the heal lifting up. Has anyone been able to fully reverse the issue?

Been doing these for 6 years… the answer for us athletes is no.., but what I do realize doing these all the time… my performance increases, less pain, and better movement. We’re athletes so we’re going to have compensations. This is a great way to maintain our abilities.

did the ankle mobility test... i couldnt even do zero inches lol.

Role of manual therapy?

My understanding is Joint mobility includes but is not limited to stretching tendons and muscles, etc.

None of these do anything…the boney structure of the ankle joint makes ankle mobility very genetic. I’ve never seen anyone improve their ankle mobility more than a tiny bit.
