      I keep having ankle sprains. Even after healing. The stiffness returns. Along with the pain and tenderness. Is there a way to completely cure this

  • @daves-c8919

    Hey everyone, just wanted to put it out there that I damaged the fascia on my right foot (a few years back) doing the stretch where you sit on your heels with the toes curled.
    It took six months to heal and my body compensated by using my left leg more, which brought on problems with my left hip and knee.
    I happen to have tight fascia, which means the stretch is very useful, but I skipped some steps and hurt myself.
    What I learned is that it’s ok to lean on your hands for the first few months of doing this stretch.
    Putting part of my weight instead of all of it could have saved me a lot of pain.
    I hope this helps someone avoid my mistake.

      ya that one can cause plantar fasciatis, not the best thing. people do it in martial arts in excess* so they can bend their toes back during a kick and strike with the ball of their foot.

I was looking for some ankle strengthening exercises and ran across this video. I did my first session today.

    Hey man. I've just discovered your stuff. Been trawling RUclips for videos to help me out. I've got totally flat feet and accessory navicular which plays havoc with my biomechanics. Add to that a lifetime of judo, rugby and then triathlon and at 41 I'm in bits. These ankle exercises are incredible, 2 days and my left ankle is so much more free and mobile. I did the squat and hang video this morning too, and actually felt like I stood upright afterwards. Definitely going to check more of your content and your website. Thank you...

    For the past three years I've been practicing yoga - humbling doesn't begin to cover it.
    I've made serious progress on my hips.

    I'm doing these exercises for few weeks now, also yoga and working out for a year or so, and today I was in the bus and driver hit the breakes and I thought "This is it, I'm going dooown..."
    I wasn't holding, I was just on my way to the exit, I was holding two bags! And funny thing then happened. Instead of loosing my balance, like I did in the past (I'm 44), I did some kind of a dance move, two steps back and one step forward, something like that, and it was so fast, don't know where it came from but it saved me and my first thought was "Oh, I know who to "blame", Strength Side! 💪🏼" 😄😊❤

I have little pain after 6 months of life changes. OMAD, high fat, stretching, weights, walking etc. I do the deep squats just about everyday. or split ones. Knees are still a bit crunchy.

    The lunging squat is a similar position to a tai chi movement that is a creeping dragon. It uses this position, creeping across the floor low and exchanging the leg which is forward. It also requires a twist of the core and stretch of the arms for counter balancing. Very hard and complicated simplicity. Great video. Thank you!
