@E3rehab With the landing for the lateral/front/backward single leg hops, is it ok if its not smooth and I take an extra step to stabilize my landing or must the landing be in one stop?

[@ttvWideShoes]

Hello, You helped me so much with my jump to hip replacements! Also, Could you please tell me what shoes you are wearing in this video? Thanks!

[@nismo8319]

I have been researching ways to help my ankle pain. This is not due to a sprain, though. My ankle was shattered and had to be surgically repaired. I don't want to just accept my limitations. I want to more active and have less pain. Would you recommend these exercises or a modified version of them?

[@hamzavanderross1235]

It's like you guys are waiting for me to get injured so that you can release the exact program I need to work through my injury.

[@ABMAustralia]

Mate, your videos are too good, only someone holding longterm injury would know the value of the information you share. Keep sharing knowledge and dont stop.

[@mosquito9335]

Did these exercise work

[@indrektustit]

It is probably the best video about how to progress if anyone has ankle instability. SVideos always have many limitations but this is really well set up along with the systematic reviews! Thank You!

[@SuperstituM]

Thank you for this video. Been working very hard to get back to skateboarding after I sprained my ankle which gave me a navicular stress fracture (bone sticking out) it's been 4-5 weeks, and I can slowly start working on these. My balance on my sprained foot in non-existent xD

[@Hannah7Banana]

I'm a figure skater and people think our ankles are strong but their not! The cast like skate actually weakens our ankles and it's important we do exercises like these to keep our ankles strong. I've also personally been dealing with cartilage deterioration in my ankles. I can't wait to try this!

[@constantin4610]

I often watch physio-therapy videos. This is by far the best one about ankle-health that I have ever seen. I love how you have summarized the current research, included the sources and put it into an actionable plan with alternatives for more variation. I'll definitely check out your other videos and programs. Thanks for sharing!

[@omaralaa6967]

Wow, I swear you are better than all the physiotherapy centers that I went to in my country, really just after the first time I did this routine I felt a huge difference, Thank you so much man, you are making the life of a lot of people better :).

[@brunete2505]

This is exactly what I needed. I had surgery on my left ankle about 20 years ago and I sprained it again, I have almost finished my fisiotherapy sessions. I also have recurrent sprains on my right ankle and I needed exercises to prevent this from happening to me again. Thank you for this content!

[@rodbrakes4189]

Brilliant. It's all fairly simple stuff, but the fact that it's been put into a manageable programme based on evidence and for sports rehab is really helpful. Thanks.

[@lianaoh3324]

I’ve had two class 3 sprains within 3 months of each other. My ankles not been the same since! Did physio for 9 months and am going to add these to my routine

[@NajLahsen]

How did the first and then the second injury happened?

[@iknz1]

You're a real professional homie. Thank you for such amazing, scientifically-backed content. You're doing god's work out here.

[@matthewphares4588]

After surgical repair of my left calcaneonavicular ligament, I still had pain and issues for 10 years. Then I badly injured my right foot 3 years ago (first metatarsal is sprained I think and medial ankle damaged too) and thus my Left foot had to pick up the slack and actually got stronger. Now my left foot gives me no problems but my right foot hurts every day. I think there should be a study where the injured foot is not braced and the good foot is put in a cam boot. Also started wearing five finger minimalist shoes that seem to have slowly strengthened my feet.

[@ScottLeveau]

I wanted to get your feedback on why you introduce plyometrics before balance/strength? I typically have my patients perform balance and 'simple' strength and introduce plyometrics towards the end of rehab. I use balance/strength as a 'prerequisite' prior to plyometric exercises; I use balance/strength performance during rehab to justify progressing them to plyo. Great video! One of the, if not the, best ankle rehab videos I've seen.

[@jasonmiller9497]

yes I was wondering that? was thinking they accidentally got the editing wrong and just got it back to front 🤷

[@zico1583]

Awesome video I've had awful problems with my tibialis posterior you name it I've had it done. Shockwave therapy multiple physio treatments sports surgery consultants cortisone injection Prp injections steroids aswell 4 mri 🙄 finally found out what I've gotten chronic ankle instability. Great video I will try this. Any other help much appreciated

[@Mazii1]

Hey man how is it going so far with your ankle? Got the same problem

[@tjgrafiks]

my ankles have sprained in all directions at some point or another. they're crap now. I'm trying to now restrengthen my legs from the ground up to regain some of my explosiveness, flexibility and balance. feels like i'm walking on hard boards. I recently developed an autoimmune condition which has widespread inflammation especially in joints. I lost a lot of muscle and strength over the last year and the little explosiveness/jumping ability I had is almost totally none existent. it's crazy how I went from touching a 10ft rim to can barely touch the bottom of the net in a matter of months. everything hurts, but I've slowly started improving in overall strength and have gained back about 22lbs so far in the last 8-9 months.

[@jeffeyanderson]

These videos are absolutely fantastic. Will be recommending. Found this after the hamstring tendonopothy video helped me no end.

[@chetanthorat5765]

Sir just saw ur video it's amazing. I was a professional sports person but I am not able to run due to my ankle. I don't have any pain while walking jogging but when striding or running faster it pain on outer side. I did ankle strengthening of my ankle for 2 to three months still not able to run or play sport

[@AndreiFantastic]

You might need to go to an orthopedist

[@jmcraefootdoc]

Great content! This will help me with my patients.

[@oldnews2you]

Thank you so much for posting this. I’ve been doing some of these exercises intuitively but you have really rounded it out comprehensively for me. Nurse and I’m trying not to seek higher level of care before I try to rehab it myself

[@hasselschwerin]

Highly appreciated, very well structured, good to watch, take notes, train! Thank you!

[@katiecollins7227]

My ankle hurts more in a brace than when it’s not in a brace, especially while doing exercises. Is it better to go brace-less in this case or to wear it for protection and push through it

[@anaghakulkarni778]

Thank you so much for the video! Immensely helpful. One question - Why do you begin the ankle rehab session with Plyometrics (jumping/hopping)? Is it to warm up the ankle or does it have some specific relevance to stability? If plyometrics is not an option, is there an alternative exercise that can serve the same purpose?

[@MelodyDiachun]

Thank you very much for these exercises and through explanations that include sources!

[@minasarn]

thank you very much. Very informative and i love that you explain the progression in each exercise.

[@Lb-ri5wr]

I sprained the outside of my right ankle about 4-5 years ago and it still causes issues. Typically any repeated contact like walking or jumping will cause it to sieze up as well as seemingly random events from resistance training. I am able to do barbell squats with 100+ kg ATG perfectly fine in squat shoes, but then it will get sore randomly after a warm up set and cause pain for a few weeks again. I have extremely limited dorsi flection and my knee caves in as compensation.

[@jackkeating763]

Maybe some peroneal nerve irritation from deep knee flexion in your warmup sets?

[@tracy2630]

Same here. I feel like I'll twist it again. Hopping scares me

[@tracy2630]

[@injusticeanywherethreatens265]

Thanks for this. I have no symptoms of ankle pain or injury at all lol BUT I still wanna strengthen my ankles cause...why not? Thanks again!

[@RichRich1955]

For ankle eversion I wrap the band around both feet and do both feet at the same time with heels together

[@ochick789]

Wow this video is amazing. I have chronic ankle instability so this is exactly what I need!! saving for future use. I don’t think it was mentioned but is this safe to do on an ankle that was recently rolled? And what’s the ideal consistency - daily, weekly, biweekly??

[@eddipeddi95]

What are the practical recommendations for ankle brace use? Would you recommend the athlete to use the brace at all times? When doing the ankle exercises? or just during sports practice and/or during competition?

[@amandak4540]

thank you🙏🏼 your channel is incredible.

[@Paul-rn7cv]

This looks very comprehensive - thank you. Where the issue is with one ankle and not both is there any need to do the exercises on the healthy ankle? Could doing or not doing so cause any further imbalance ?

Super informative and well-presented, as always.

[@Kirmo13]

this is AMAZING, thank you so very much

[@boileaub]

Fantastic! Would be nice to see a similar video on your thoracic program.

[@terriliggett544]

It seems like bracing is making my ankle weaker. I have lost so much strength and it is painful to do these exercises under my arch and in my heel. Hopping is out of the question. I’ll start with the bands and balance. I appreciate such quality contentnn

[@kyounao]

How is your recovery?

[@terriliggett544]

I had to stop many of the exercises. CT scan shows midfoot fusion failed. Back to the surgeon for his best advice. Thanks for asking.

In some cases. Surgery must be performed. No amount of rehab will fix CAI. Rehab is needed after and before urgent however.

[@cholocacanindin4958]

Hi! Just saw this video and good specific exercises. Have a question though. When do we know we can start the rehab process already on a grade 2 or 3 ankle sprain? Lets say 5 weeks post injury w/ noticeable and palpable swelling around the joint area. Over all swelling has subsided.

[@TheHongKongDragon]

[@deensuleyman1753]

Great video! Quite a lot of work just for one body part. Do you recommend rehabing one body part at a time if you have several injuries / disfunctions?

[@justicevanpool9025]

I thought this was really a lot too. The exercises definitely seem helpful, but this just feels like a list of all the possible exercises more than an actual routine.

[@ghodli]

do you have a late-stage ankle rehab program that would prepare the athlete to play basketball again before they step back on the court to play?

I’ve been faithfully doing many exercises to strengthen my damaged / stretched ligaments. For a year. But the single balance on one foot seems to cause me pain the next day after working it. Very frustrating as it is always suggested as the best way to strengthen lateral angle damage.

[@AndreiFantastic]

I’m terrified to try. I went from daily jump roping to any time I jump now it hurts, i wouldn’t even call it a jump I can barely hop. It constantly hurts. My primary care wouldn’t refer me to the orthopedist even though after six months I went back after the initial bad sprain and said hey im having trouble im falling over now constantly when I’ve never fallen before. Same ankle every time, it’s been three years it hurts still

Are these exercises supposed to be done on just the injured ankle to get it up to speed or both ankles to improve overall muscle balance? Asking as someone who has ignored this issue for far too long.

Since rolling on my right ankle numerous times throughout my life I am sure this is what I have. I dance ballet and on my right pirouette my ankle gives way and it looks like a wobble board situation so now my Dance teacher has given me some ankle stability exercises. my question is following what you have included in this video..is it possible to build enough strength in the ankle for it to overcome this condition? and how long approximatley can it take to gain ankle stability following these excercises? thank you in advance. It is only my right ankle as my other can bear weight well. the other foot has an existing club foot surgery and with that one I am working on flexibility with the ankle joint.

[@neumichel]

Hello- I had a motorcycle accident in 1996. I have a tibial pin and a fibular plate. I never did any "athletic performace" PT but rather just progressed to walking and dealt with the reduced balance and power in the right leg. I guess I favored it a bit. Im in my 50s and I love to ski. I would always feel weaker in the affected leg. For the past 2 months, I've progressed to single-leg hops for 30 seconds on the affected leg (i couldnt do any 2 months ago). My x-rays are fine. I just went to Hospital for Special Surgery and I start proprioceptive therapy next month but I want to get a head start. Would this program be appropriate to do before I get to therapy?
