Good info thanks. For the dorsiflexion I use an 8 pound kettle bell because my foot will fit in the grip part pretty well and it stays put. I am new to your channel as of last week, used to work out 4 evenings a week different muscle group. I am 67 and trying to get busy again with this stuff.
I would not have guessed ankles! But I've always walked too stiffly and have had a couple of bad falls from not picking up my feet enough, so I believe you! Thanks for these helpful videos.
Eric recently discovered you. Like what you do very much . I am a boomer and your advice helps. The problem , I do not use FB and I live in Bangkok :). What I would love to buy from you is a printable summary of your lessons to take to my gym. Using an iPad is a pain, sweaty , batteries , sketchy Wi fi. A printable PDF exercise summary would be perfect but even better would a spiral bound folder book. Sell us the folder book which we can prop up. I will pay for these downloads or you can sell plastic covered pages. Keep up the good work.
@@EricDaw1 hello and good morning to you sir! I was wondering if you can maybe make a video for ppl with atrophy? I have a parent that suffers from leg strength. He refuses PT so it's up to me to try and get some info on this. I have learned a lot thru your work and really appreciate it!
As a chiropractic physician, I have treated thousands of patients of ALL ages for over 30 years, many with lower extremity problems coming from minor bony misalignments or subluxations which are usually fast & easy to correct. More often than not ankle "stiffness" or reduced ankle range of motion is caused by a subluxated talus bone (anteriorly or antero-laterally).
I find this helpfull, but I might add a couple of exercises: The bozu is great for propioceptiv sensitivity and all aroundes ankle strengther. And second, calf raises, one feet at a time, no weights. Thank you
Yes, I had a personal trainer for a couple weeks after getting back to the gym after a few years off. That was part of my first workout and I realized how bad my balance was. Along with core focus, I saw a big improvement.
Thanks for these videos Eric- they are great. How low should I be able to bend when I do the evaluation of my ankle flexibility to know I have good ankle mobility?

That’s a good idea!

PS, most of your Stretching competitors offer Kindle/ Paperback and Spiral bound option. Yours is the clearest and most relevant.
Love your videos, addressing important topics and you explain in a very simple ways.
Thank you
So nice of you
Great info Dr! You're an awesome individual!!!
I appreciate that!

Glad you like them!

Great examples as always Eric. What about ankle circles, and pointing and flexing exercises. Or is weight-bearing better perhaps?
I like weight bearing for strengthening
Thanks for these videos Eric- they are great.
How low should I be able to bend when I do the evaluation of my ankle flexibility to know I have good ankle mobility?
Good Question. The back knee should be pretty close to the front knee when both are bent
What about heel raises?
