U have no clue how bad my soleus was.... Omg

Oh man exercise 5 is something I’ve been looking for for YEARS

Thank u so much 😊

Thank you!!

Please provide a link to where I can get an elastic band?

Genius

when is the best time to start the exercise? I have minor ankle injury, the pain is 1-2 out of 10. Walking does not make it better or worse, it has been 4 days since the injury. Should I start now or wait until my ankle is not pain at all?

Heyyy, will these help with getting my heels down for horse riding?? Tysm

Really good exercises. Wish there was no music in the background. It was irritating, competing with what you're saying. Silent background makes it easier to concentrate on what you're saying.

Six weeks after tendon surgery from leg...can I do these exercises??

Can these be performed daily

Hey Jared, I don’t know if you will even see this, but I had a break in my 5th metatarsal and they put a screw in. This was about 8 or 9 weeks ago and I have been doing therapy. I was just wondering, how long does it take for the foot to feel normal, I am 17 and trying to have a basketball season after missing my senior season of football. When I walk I feel not really pain but it feels weird, and I just wanted to see if you ever felt that way when you were recovering. I am just very curious or eager to learn when that weird feeling and discomfort will go away so I can play basketball and wondering how long do you think it would take to play basketball full speed. Thanks

For me it’s just ankle tightness

I always feel the stretch in my Achilles tendon instead of my calves, is there a fix for this?

I think everyone who lifts should work on their ankles it is one of the most common failure points for people who live a mostly sedentary life style

Hi sir, I grew arthritis after ankle surgery , it's a year now after I broke my ankle, I want to make sure that what are the best exercises for the stiffness of the ankle . I ve found some of your videos but I appreciate if you refer me to specific exercises or your videos. Thanks in advance.

I was in an car accident 2 years ago I r stretched but never really rehabbed my ankle kind of stiffened up

You are super!

I have pins and a plate in my ankle/fibula. I've lost a big range of motion.

I was looking on You Tube for exercises for my ankle. 2 years ago I fell from a ladder and broke my Calcaneus of my left foot. The Orthopaedic Surgeon had put 4 screws in but told me there is no need for physiotherapy after the boot came off. Now 2 years down the line my ankle is stiff and very painfull. I am going to start doing these exercises and believe it will help.

How many weeks after a 5th metatarsal fracture we can do these exercises...for me it's been 4 weeks can do ?

thanks for them exercises. gonna try that later. ever since i had a talus fracture on my left ankle i have not enouge range of motion and a unstable ankle.
can i combine that with exercises for my knees?

After how many days do you start the exercise I am 77 yrs old and have a fracture in my right leg

I bet you were happy to be able to wear shoes again on both feet 😎

How much time take to regain this ankle mobility

Dr. Jared, your toes are so long! You are so handsome! xoxo

Hii, love from India ❤
Wanted to ask - "should I use supporter in gym?". A lot of people say yes, some say no. I think I can trust you on this😅😁

Hi Jared, I left a message a few days ago with a question about the red resistance band.. not sure if you saw it.. thank you,

Barb B.

Please 🥺🥺 make a video on cracking or poping in the knee while sitting down or standing
Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hey I need help I hurt my back in football and it's been stiff and feel like it needs a pop and relief

Hello. I have a mild patella instability. It’s partially dislocated about 4 times throughout the past 5ish years. Right now it’s really painful and I can go up the stairs but when I go downstairs it kills so I tend to just hop down. Do you recommend these movements? Should I see a physical therapist?

When I move my foot/ankle to the inside (ex: R foot, moving toes R to L) there's a slight pop, but if you feel in the top center part of my ankle joint (there's kind of a divot where your fingers can fit between I'm guessing tendons?) it feels like a cord is snapping over another cord. This happens almost every time, and it's more pronounced when I flex my toes upward and do it.
Then when I move my foot/ankle down in a slightly outward motion (think right foot making the first stroke of the letter V) the top/outer part of my ankle joint cracks kinda like cracking your knuckles. Again it's more pronounced when I flex my toes upward and do that motion, and it usually needs the first popping thing I described to happen then it always happens after that.
What's happening? Why does it do that (on both ankles but the right one moreso than the left) ?

Perfect, my ankles are holding me back from doing a full depth squat so I really hope these help? How long do you recon until I see improvement?

Hi Jared,

Great video! I’m going to order one of the resistance bands from the company you recommended in your video; I had ankle survey to remove bone spur on my lower anterior tibial tendon of ankle in 2016 and I still do these exercises to keep my dorsiflexion in check. I’m not sure if the RED one you used is too strong for me (?)
I’m very lean, weighing 104 #.. What do you suggest? Thank you!! You’ve been my ‘virtual’ PTx for a long time !

Please can you make a video on scapular wing

Hi I rolled my ankle about 3 months ago and after an X-ray was told it’s soft tissue damage. Would these exercises be good for reducing the pain and help with movement?
Cheers

Hello ,My shoulder's posture is imbalanced ,one shoulder is a little more inward than the other , i notice the difference when i do shrugs infront of mirror, How can i balance them

Jared, excellent video as always! I needed this. Thank you!

Hi sir
This exercises will helpful for paralisys patient?

Before I found out about these standing stretches I had got an abductor strain doing high bar squats. My posterior chain was doing most of the work, as my knees were coming nowhere near my toes.

I started doing those standing stretches before squats and they opened up the movement so well I had to lower the weight I used because it brought me more into the proper movement, which brought the quads in much more. I had no clue how important ankle mobility was for balance until then.

I hadn't thought of changing toe angle though, which may be something I need to incorporate, as I squat with my toes pointed out a bit instead of straight forward as in the stretches.

Watching how far your knees go over your toes during those stretches is impressive. Maybe I'll be there someday!

Hi sir my mom is having pain in her upper biceps area and she can't lift it up all the way because of the pain or bend it to her back anymore this started around two weeks ago what exercises should she do ?
