Simply roll the exercise band over the leg bone onto the talus and mobilize for 1-2 minutes.
This can help improve ankle mobility and symptoms almost immediately. Compare your before and after results!
Recent or lingering ankle sprains can give you discomfort, instability or even a feeling a weakness at the front of the ankle. Mobility exercises can reduce these symptoms by improving the function of the ankle. It should not replace full management by a professional, however my experience is that this is very effective.

Try this simple 5 minute home test to find our your risk of injury, and your lower limb performance.
The Y-balance test is well documented to highlight functional differences between limbs, which can often occur after injuries like ankle sprain, patellofemoral pain syndrome, and ACL tears.
It can also give athletes a great pre-season baseline score for comparison against future injuries.

Dear friends, colleagues, patients and followers.
With a heavy heart, I will be leaving the UK on the 17th March to relocate to Oslo with my lovely girlfriend Ingvild, where I will live and continue practicing as a sports Chiropractor.
However fear not, I am not out of reach and my quest to forever learn and share will not stop there! As I am giving up a busy patient list, it gives me the time and opportunity to learn even more, and upload original content from new and exciting people and places. Before I settle down, I will be traveling around the world for a few months, looking to observe sports teams and different professionals for a fresh perspective. Keep updated with my travels and afterwards more wintry health posts from Norway!
In the mean time, I will be seeing patients in Canary Wharf to review their cases and seamlessly pass them over to another clinician. I will also, of course, be having some little cheeky drinks with friends and colleagues, to see me on my way.
It is an exciting time for myself and if I don’t personally see you before I go, I wanted to say thank you, and that I am very grateful for my time here. I have been lucky to be able to work and interact with such a lovely bunch of professionals and patients. It has been an enjoyable and fun start to my career. I am very much looking forward to the next chapter and I hope that you are too.
Stay healthy and keep an ear out for new updates!
Alex
