Ankle Rehab- Today we are featuring a post from Physical Therapist, Dr. Teddy Willsey. - Exercise buckets — The exercises above all check specific boxes when we categorize movements by their stress / stimulus and outcome / adaptation goal. . The floating heel movements help to train the supinators, plantarflexors, and inverters of the foot and ankle. All of which are associated with power production and foot/ankle stability. . The single leg strength movements encourage dorsiflexion, controlled eversion, and the force attenuation range of motion requirements of the lower leg. They’re also essential in maintaining and rebuilding fitness. . And finally, the isolated band inversion helps to more specifically build robustness of the posterior tibialis muscle and tendon, an area that takes on a lot of stress in a soccer player, and was previously symptomatic. . My guy @jacob.macdonald1 has been crushing his post surgery ankle rehab and is also lookin fly w his new haircut.💇♂️ . #TeddyTalksAnkles #StrengthCoachTherapy If you need physical therapy or a good strength training program, contact physical therapists like @strengthcoachtherapy or @dr.marcrobinson for in-person or online training (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVyJ17EPyPT/?utm_medium=tumblr
