Stop ankles sprains FOREVER

[@emcustard]

I was super fidgety as a kid and constantly rocked my heals side to side. I've rolled my ankle in 4 inch wedges and walked away fine.

[@ErintheLostBeanbag]

i was gonna say the same exact thing

[@kareny5438]

Wow! That's like a super power!

[@AncientG]

Oh hey same! I wear platforms that end up being 6 inches at the heel and I roll my ankles all the time and I’ve never had them hurt more than a minute

[@Ps-qd4us]

I can relate! I still am kinda fidgety lol but yeah I’ve rolled my ankle multiple times in heels and was perfectly fine, I didn’t know that was supposed to hurt lol

[@dekhariclark160]

I do that all the time in 3in heels

Roller skating also helps!

[@MovementbyDavid]

I love roller blading and skating

​@@MovementbyDavid May I ask how many reps of these ankle stretches do I need to do weekly to see prevent injuries.

[@rosabeltan6462]

So either I have very weak ankles or I just find the most amazing ways to hurt myself coz I grew up rollerblading and still somehow sprain both my ankles alot

[@hyrumdetton12]

holy smokes, this vid is sick. I recently sprained my ankle from rollerblading and twisting it around the vertical axis, I'm gonna work to make my ankles invincible B)

Hey see a physical therapist. Seriously. Seriously. They’ll teach u what exercices to do. I used to have weak ankles too guaranteed worse than yours. This is what helpedeven helped me get off the custom orthotics

“I dare you to do 15 of these and not feel sore tomorrow.” Mate, I did 3 reps of a hamstring exercise you recommended beginners do 8 reps of and my legs are still dead 2 days later.

Speedy recovery to you 😭

[@booperdooper9762]

Hahahs samee

[@solarpanda3401]

That's great. Delayed muscle soreness (DOMS) is usually around 48 hours of soreness. But it's also a sign you are strengthening your muscles. Of course if it's too sore you may have injured yourself, especially if it's on one side, but if not, don't stop. Soon the soreness will go away and you will see how much easier the same exercises.

[@jaclynrachellec]

As a dancer, I actually agree that it's necessary to strengthen that part of the foot, I've always practiced this outside of dance, and I think it's necessary to, so when you inevitably fall out into that position (at some point), your feet and ankles can handle it.

[@MarinaBaccarelli]

Sitting with a torn ligament and excess fluid in my bone rn from spraining it too much, this video literally makes my entire body cringe😩

[@thegriffinnews]

When I worked retail I had a habit of standing on the sides of my feet to give the balls of my toes a break. I haven't rolled my ankle in years, and I was a serial roller as a kid.

[@atriyakoller136]

KZbin is finally helpful. After pne sprain, i started getting them every couple months. Finally I can start building up strength after 4 years of repeated sprains Thank you for doing this and thank the algorithm for recommending it to me

[@camillamerighi6833]

I'm in a similar position! This is really great

[@waitwhat7570]

Turns out my ankles are pretty strong. These were pretty easy to do for me. Last time I did sprain an ankle was when I was like 12? I remember being out with my cousins, tripping and my ankle hurting like crazy, I kept running on it though and by the end of the day it was all purple😂😂

[@jankisi]

same, apart from the first one where he sits on the ground and lifts his body, all of these were easy. I never knew ankle strength was a thing. I am actually quite clumsy but I have never sprained an ankle. It happens quite often that I roll my ankle, and people are like "omg are you okay?" and I'm like "what yeah of course I only stumbled a bit"

[@faithdorey5919]

Holy fuck. This was my secret reason for not having foot pain anymore??? For some context I have flat feet, usually noting a decent insole couldn't fix but through middle and high school even if I was barely standing I would get incredible foot pain radiating up through the shin and sometimes knees, debilitating to the point that if i had a migraine at the same time I would just sit in a dark room and cry. When I got my first job I knew I would be on my feet more so obviously I worked up to standing for 8 hours a day but while at my job I would stand on the sides of my ankles and roll them and rotate between standing on my heels and toes and now 6 or so years into the industry pulling 12 hour days with little problem most of the time.

[@Resilient_Brilliance]

You are the goat for this information. Thank you. My ankle has been weak since 2018 when I rolled it terribly and popped it out. I never went and got it popped back in it. Kind of just healed broken. Last summer I was trying on some heels and went to take a step and rolled that same ankle. It popped back into place but it’s feeling even weaker ever since I can’t wait to try these.

[@josephschubert6561]

I sprained my ankle from falling straight down on it in a compromised position last summer. At the start of this year we discovered a "pebble" had broken off the base of my leg when a ligament pulled at it. I lost a lot of strength in that ankle from the injury, surgery, and lack of use from restricted movement. I'm so grateful for your videos that are helping me get to an even better place than I was before the accident.
