    I horrendously failed the test. I can barely get one finger width away from the wall. I'm in my early forties and my lack of ankle mobility makes it nearly impossible to do movements like squats correctly. Thanks so much for the exercises, I plan to implement these ASAP.

    I had no ankle mobility at all starting in childhood. For some reason I was unusually tight. I've only recently started doing ankle mobility in my 30s. So I can safely say my ankle mobility has improved (slightly) with age.

    66 and passed! I’ve had multiple ankle injuries in my youth, so my ankles are always a focus for me to keep them strong. I stretch, do squats, sit in a squat and stand on one foot almost every day. It’s so important to avoid falling as you age.

    Hand test passed easily, been doing those exercices for years after a pretty bad shin splints injury trying to run again after tumor surgery etc.
    Those exercies are perfect for ankles, shin, calves, this channel provides great advice !
    I would just suggest to do the 2nd exercice without shoes on and try to get down and up as slowly as you can, this is way more effective, in my opinion.
    And even with good ankle mobility I keep doing those ! (I do fencing, running and rollerblade)
    Don't give up, 5 years ago, post injury, i was struggling to even put my knee against the wall ... Everything was hurting me, my muscle were all tired easily and my body stiff.
    It took some time, but day after day, doing exercices like this i managed to get better mobility etc
    You can do it, just don't stop beleiving in yourself :)

    Thank you so much for this video, I've been searching years for this information. I passed the test but I've always struggled to point my toes as my ankles aren't flexible that way, it's very frustrating. Will doing these exercises improve this and allow me to point my toe? Hopefully 😬

    When I rolled my ankle & snapped the fibula several years ago, the orthopedic surgeon told me it is the #1 most common surgery he performs, several times every week. One second of instability and a silly fall, and it led to 3 months in a cast and 3 YEARS of physical therapy to get back to normal. Ankle strength & stability are no joke! The titanium plate & screws I'll have in my ankle for the rest of my life are proof. ❤

    Ankle Eversion and Inversion, I call it the Ankle wiggle. 😂
    Thank you! I really needed this. Work has meant I've not been to my gym for over a year now. Feeling stiff around my ankles. Will definitely do these. As I've been worried about sustaining an injury, if I launch myself back in to my gym routine without your valuable advice.

    I didn't even knew about this ankle mobility test, it seems that I'm very good at this. Was a total surprise to me when I saw that I can fit almost my two full hands and still can touch the wall😮 (only one finger of the second hand left)

    Would you consider that hand test good rom or just acceptable? I can touch the wall at that distance but it does feel tight. I do feel like I’d benefit from greater rom in my ankles. Thanks 🙏

  • @staceg2003
    @staceg2003 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Passed the test on both ankles although it felt tight and a bit uncomfortable. My bigger problem is overall stiffness particularly on the outsides of the ankle, so I think the last exercise you demonstrated will be the most valuable for me.

      Buy a resistance band then. Don’t think it costs too much. Either way you’ll be happy when you have bulletproof ankles.

    Pass the hand test. was shown it many years ago after a Basketball ankle sprain.
    also, they recommend doing the Inversion/Eversion ankle work eith the band 90deg perpendicular to your leg. (rather than in a line as you showed in the video.)
    the perpendicular position allows for more tenson against the band.

    I'm so close to passing the hand test! I am trying to get an 'Asian Squat' and ankle mobility (+ extra long femurs) is holding me back. I'm technically touching the heal to the ground but literally no weight in it. I'm going to be as consistent as I can with adding these back of calf exercises to my cool downs.

    Really informative thank you....I can only get an inch away from the wall in the first excercise, then my knee won't touch it🥺.. as for the wall excercise, lifting the toes up.....I barely clear the fur of the carpet🥺...perhaps just enough to slide a piece of paper under!!!!😢 will this improve with time? I'm a horse rider, have been for 40yrs plus....apparently I have very tight hamstrings, according to my osteopath...Will these excercises help those too? Thank you

    I can pass the one hand test with my left ankle easily but because i sprained my right ankle multiple times i can only manage 4 fingers at a push (whenever i try to extend my right ankle it involuntarily moves my foot to the side like its drawing a backwards C shape), also i dont have resistance bands and my stairs are in a very awkwad position so is there any other way to do these exercises?

  • @hannabani7929

    "Needs a little bit of work" 🤔 My heel is up before knee even reaches in line with toes, absolutely miles off 🥺. You've got 2 inches + of skirting board before you even start moving the foot out👍 I've tried a lot of these things over time, but it's never anything lasting, wake up like Groundhog day, nothing has changed back to square 1, depressing. Always wanted to perform a resting squat, but never without a large block under heels and that feels abnormal under feet. I even use foam pads between thighs and calves because my knees are so fragile, even then I can only manage 10 minutes max. I'm only 30, have never injured any of these joints so it's a frustrating mystery when you have genuinely tried to dedicate yourself to try and improve and get nowhere.
