Everyone who came here after spraining their ankles. We are all with u. May we all recover as quick as possible and get out of this depression. Remember, time heals everything. EVERYTHING ! Love u all :)
Ninja 4eVa lol I laughed at this cause I so feel the depression part I’ve just recovered from one not fully but it’s been 3 days now and I’m about 70-80 recovered and should be back to normal in a couple days. Fastest I’ve healed from an ankle sprain best thing I done was hopped straight of the field when it happened in the past I’ve continued to finish my match only to be unable to walk for a couple days 😂 second was a lot of rest and sleep thirdly was massage and mobility exercises and stretches on the 2nd and 3rd days that’s the key in my experience I did barely any icing I’ve sprained both ankles numerous times enough times for me to lose count. Another thin was the times I don’t ice it that much I noticed I recovered a lot quicker than when I did Rice more. Just an observation hope that helps. Of course ice on the first instance it happens for pain and inflammation but I don’t think you need to ice it much after the first day really
WOW!! Theses guys are EXCEPTIONAL teachers!!!! Everything is so clear, easily digestible, and informative!! They don’t talk down to you, they don’t talk over you, they speak in a way that allows comfort and advancement!
Unreal. Have been watching my ankle dorsiflexion (measured with knee-to-wall test) increase veeery slowly since spraining my ankle two weeks ago. Did cross-tissue massage for 2 minutes on my extensor tendon (like you said - it was sore, then a bit numb/warm) and range of movement has doubled INSTANTLY. Thanks you Bob and Brad! You are definitely the best physiotherapists in my entire computer! :)
Bro sams thing i sprained it yesterday and could barely walk without pain and then tried this and no lie 15 minutes later it was almost back to normal and can walk with very minimal pain was so surprised i laughed in amazement
qp ghost qp that’s great to hear man how you doing so far now ? I am also good to walk , except my range of motion is limited at the moment since the bone they explained in this video actually did shift, hopefully I can be completely back to normal and let me know how you doing right now man (:
@@Bilaal739 It's great now. Turned out my very expensive footbeds were mainly the problem!! That coupled with a slight anterior pelvic tilt giving me a heel strike while running. A 2-year problem that took a lot of exploring to resolve, but seem to have a handle on it now! Such a relief.
After doing the cross fiber exercise a couple of times, my ankles swelling has decreased significantly and the vein just popped to the surface. Thank you. My ankles have been swollen for a year and did not know what to do about it. I thought I would be stuck with old lady ankles forever, no offense to old ladies.👍
@@marcietownsend3635 Oh my gosh yes!Like someone is cracking pecans lol. It's on the left one though and it's in the spot where I twisted it. When I rotate it counterclockwise it will pop
I really don't know what I'd do without you two. You've helped me with back, knee and shoulder problems... Now it's the ankle's turn. Sucks to get injured but I always know where to get all the info I need (with the help of meeting a physical therapist when needed, of course). Thank you so much.
Found my self here after getting a sprained ankle . I have liked and commented on comments from 1-3 years ago just to show you how far you have come in life . We have nothing to complain about we have more then we know 🙏🏽
Crying in pain here but thanks you both angels for helping me... Love you guys. Missed my soccer championship due to a sprain but sitting here recovering 💓
The way he described the ankle sprain is exactly the motion in how mine was a few weeks ago when I missed a step coming down a stair way in a hurry after work.
Thank you guys so much for your video! Watching this at 1 in the morning as my ankle was keeping me up. After a month of spraining my ankle, pain and swelling only slightly getting better, going to the doctors with concerns and being told “it’s not that bad”, just 5 minutes of rubbing the ankle helped relieve my pain and restore some motion.
Are you better now I injured my ankle two days ago it’s very badly swollen and bruised however today I can stand on it a little bit I’m wondering how long this will take to heal
Good video. As a PTA I would like to add though to let people be aware that if you do wear a brace that it should be temporary. Too many people think they have bad or weak ankles so they rely too long on that lace up brace you guys have, then in turn lose the stabilization and proprioception that the brace helps with.

With images, for example, you can follow it back to the website it came from. Sometimes it's part of power point presentation ( Slideshare.net ) or special interest ( physio, exercise enthusiasts, etc.) and occasionally a physician's webpage & in this case a TH-cam channel.

As a gal on a budget you fellas really helped me out three years ago on my right side ankle to heal after my accident. Now last week I took a spill and injured my left ankle, so here I am. Hoping this one recovers faster than the other that one took months. The expertise and knowledge you both share we are all extremely grateful, i sure am. It's no wonder you are the two most famous on the internet!☺️💕
THANK YOU!!! I'm a PTA student close to graduation and you're channel has helped me immensely!!! I have several playlist for studying & I still learn something new every time I watch your videos. Your videos are a Godsend as I'm beginning to study for my license exam.
Anita Farren interesting points ,if anyone else wants to uncover ways to sprain your ankle try Jaffacter Sprained Ankle Coach ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my neighbor got excellent results with it.
Great info. I sprained my ankle yeaterday, I woke up with severe pain. I iced my ankle a few times today. I kept it elevated. I did compression socks. What really brought relief is the cross tissue massage. 🙏 thanks for sharing that! I have more mobility than I did a few minutes ago and it honestly feels so much more relieved.
Im 54 and fell down the last two steps of a flight of staris at a HOSPITAL today, been following they brilliant guys for years, have learned loads.. but thank you to the staff who helped me at Ysbyty Gwynedd today totally ad hoc. Just brilliant...RICE!
I remembered these guy after I sprained my ankle recently. I checked out their most recent video and saw Bob discuss his ataxia and its effects on him. These guys have been such a big help for me with their various videos
This is so AMAZING!! I tried the cross fiber massage and instantly, INSTANTLY, my swelling ankle stopped hurting and decreased back to it's normal size!! Bob and Brad are really SO GREAT!! This is my first time here and I love this!!! 😍 Thumbs up!!! 👍
It shows in the video to rub sideways down and towards the bottom of the foot right where theres a little squishy insertion point to the right of the outside knot from the femur
So sorry .. this happened .. I think of you often .. I do. Your tears are genuine, touching my heart .. again .. she is not forgotten .. I think of both of you, esp when I pass the dance studio which is A LOT .. hugs to you.
This is the first video of yours I've seen so far. I burst into tears watching because I felt what I'm dealing with was in my head. I rolled my rt ankle 5.5 months ago. Grade 3 atfl sprain. I think I got that right. I can't point my toes as far as lft one, or lift pointing towards my face as far. In pain every day. I gave up on physical therapy only 3 weeks ago. They wont allow me to use support braces or tape after 2 months, said I would rely on it. Even crossing my legs is to much pressure on the ankle. I had an MRI few days ago, seeing an orthopedic surgeon in few days. I think I just need to see an amazingly good physiotherapist like yourselves. Ok off to watch more videos an feeling less scared.
Oh my, my husband sprained his foot about a month ago. He started rubbing his foot sideways while this video was on, I rubbed it too for 5 minutes. Amazingly, the pain went away completely. Wow, thank you.
You guys are my HEROES! Thank you so much! I got my ankle injured like 2 weeks ago and it wasn´t getting better and in a week I have got to be playing football again... I watched your video, did the massage for like 15 minutes and then the exercises of the next video too, and while doing them very carefully I listened like some "crack" down there and ta-daa! I can walk almost normally and do most of the letters of the alphabet. Once again, thank you, guys!
THANK YOU. i sprained my ankle mid-trek through the grand canyon and continued a few dozen miles on my sprained ankle. certainly paying the price now. the massage and brace recommendation are hugely appreciated
This really helped guys. Got in a motorcycle accident a few weeks back, was wearing full gear and doing everything right. Oncoming traffic, truck took a left in front of me and I T-boned him. Went over the truck and broke my right leg, compound fracture at the tib, and sprained my left ankle. My right leg now has a titanium rod installed, and my past PT appointments we noticed that my ROM is much greater on my right side than left side. My riding boots, the left one is turned inward a fair bit. Your videos really helped in understanding the healing process and the time frame behind it. Keep doing what you're doing 🤙 Cheers from Georgia
This completely explained what has happened with my ankle! Immediate pain relief with massage! I was told I have loose ankles by a chiropractor and one keeps getting sprained, I thought i had no options! Thanks for what you do!!
I just twisted my ankle this evening , had a pain killer injection and a lot of swelling. Just out of anxiety I found your video and I subscribed instantly. Tomorrow I will have my X-ray but I think I will be fine in no time after seeing your style of presentation. Thank you 🙏
Thanks Bob & Brad for this. I had a big tumble trail running the other day and sprained my ankle quite badly. I rested for two days and then have done these exercises for two days and my ankle is starting to feel HEAPS better. Thanks!!
I sprained or fractured my ankle 13 days ago and wish I saw this sooner! love the way you two explain things.. still swollen and sore hoping to have insurance soon but until than this should help... you guys rock
Sprained my ankle a week ago. Painful. Going to do this. I know it will help because u guys have helped us enormously with so many body issues. Thanks to You Two Marvels of Humanity. We ❤️ you.
@@ChandavlogsinCanada. i just sprained a few hrs ago today. cant even walk properly, can feel all the bones etc even when bear a bit of weight or pressure, did you feel the same? and what was your treatment and after how long did you feel better?
@@diauser3327 So sorry to hear that. Proper healing takes time and effort for sure. It took me around 3 weeks to put pressure and more 3 weeks for walking. Used the walking boot as doc recommended. Hope you feel better soon🤞
I knew I wasn’t crazy to think there is more to healing w a sprained ankle….3 weeks out and my ankle still isn’t stable in the am. Swelling has gone down so I’m going to start strengthening! Thank you for your uploads!!
Omg thank you so much I did it and I immediately felt the different after 2 month of seeing physiotherapist. It felt so free and good I cried . Thank you so much
Thanks. I've sprained my left ankle several times over the years. It's all good at the moment based in what you said here and the fact I do a lot of crossfit and yoga with no problems, but when it goes it seems to go easily so this will be helpful for speeding up recovery if it happens again.
If you ever sprain your ankle again that fastest way to heal is to walk without a brace day 1 and you will heal in a few days because your forcing your ankle to heal
U need to rehab ur ankles and make it stronger so it won’t sprain easily next time. Squat does strengthen ur ankles and joint but add some other ankle workout as well. Good luck
Very informative, thank you! After breaking my ankle once, spraining it twice.. I sprained it yet again. I was told that my ankle is susceptible to being hurt again, but what you both said about repeat sprains makes complete sense. Thank you!
This video was very helpful. I had taken ibuprofen and it seemed the pain worsen. I was in bed in tears and got some relief following the line that you all drew … that’s exactly where my pain and tender areas - just grateful for relief
Great info! I have what they call/ you explained as "weak ankles" (since childhood, for whatever reason) and years ago my right ankle decided to give way...I heard two snaps and found out I tore ligaments and had to wear a splint I was black-and-blue...swollen....a nightmare. Since then, I sprain it every few years. The doctor told me that sprains, like mine, are a lot of times worse then breaks, but Never once, did the doctor suggest therapy.

@@sethdonahue7452 funny you mention that. When I aquired my worst sprain (20 years ago?), the emergency doc splinted it...when I made my follow-up, my doctor seemed upset with the splint and showed me exercises to aquire mobility. However, I found that the condition does tend to progress with age and ironically, with every sprain, the condition tends to become more subseptable for more sprains with each subsequent sprain... not going to lie, I adore platforms, dancing and liquor... I just wished someone advice me of strengthening exercises. Weirder still- I had mini-sprains in childhood..l Recall my ankles giving way for no reason at all..low I know about the agenda, but I digress.
@@LareesieAlice well if you ever sprain your ankle dancing or using platforms you can heal your sprains within less then a week every time if you walk without a brace right away you could probably dance after the first day and you will heal just a fast if not faster
@@LareesieAlice yea but its not too good to stabilize that because it doesn't let the muscles do work and they become weaker also if you did resprain it with support since its harder to sprain again it will hurt a lot more
Guys, I have been in pain for over a month with my sprain! Just doesn't seem to be healing. This has been so helpful, you've no idea! Thank you so much!
Hi! I sprained my ankle last March 28, I've been recovering now and will about to do a therapy as well. Thanks to this video I was a ble to know simple things that I can do at home. More videos please. I hope all therapist here in the Philippines are as kind as you.
I sprained my ankle (foot) today. Hurt like heck! And I have a stick shift, it was so hard to drive and push my clutch in with my bad foot. You are my go to guys, you’re the best!
Thank you! I think that this massage is very useful for old sprains - I sprain my leg 1 year ago and now have a little problem with running, but 5 min of massage makes me happy and I believe that it is possible to fully recover
I always slap myself on the forehead for not coming to these videos sooner. Thinking that my body will heal much quicker than it does now in my 30s. This is the second injury these guys are helping me get through without having to go to the doctors, who have only ever just suggested medication. Thank you Bob and Brad!!
I have recently been diagnosed with a high ankle sprain. Today my PT did an ultrasound scan with this cool machine. You could see ligaments etc like an MRI. I was further diagnosed with a grade 2 high ankle sprain, partial tear of the tibiofibular ligament. I was also diagnosed with tarsal tunnel which I had never heard of. Suggestions for topics would be high ankle sprains and also tarsal tunnel. I was told the swelling in my ankle was compressing the nerve. If you have done videos in those already I apologize as I have missed them. Love your videos. Very informative and helpful. Thank you!
+physicaltherapyvideo another topic is compression socks. My PT says I am supposed to wear one for the tarsal tunnel. There are different grades and the sizing is confusing. I am supposed to have light compression under 15. But 15 what lol. Also my measurements haven't fit within the off the shelf sizes. I have gone to my local pharmacy and a big box pharmacy. There is an ankle measurement and calf measurement. Which one are you supposed to fit to if one falls in the size measurements but the other doesn't. Never knew buying one pair of socks was so difficult lol looks like I will have to try ordering a pair but how do I know what is a good one that will fit? Some of the online ones go by shoe size but give no calf measurement. Thank you again. Keep up the good videos.
You guys have helped me so many times, I’m a rugby league player that takes a fair few knocks and your tips have helped me recover quicker than any other physio I’ve ever heard. Thank you so much :))))
Hi Doctors. I am from Tamilnadu, India.last month I had ankle sprain. Not feeling better till now.today I saw your video. Thank you for your brief explanation.i will try cross tissue massage.Thanks a lot. So sweet of you both for your brief video
I had a 600 lb motorcycle take a nap on my right ankle and it is swollen and very painful. Doc says it is sprained, and I am digusted with myself for doing this....Thanks for the great video!
I couldn't afford PT at $105 a session for my broken ankle.Your videos are so helpful and have saved me literally. Thank you so much. I'm a new Subscriber and I like ALL of your videos. Thank you.
It's been almost 3 months since I sprained my ankle, but I still have this dull pain near my malleolus. When I sprained, I didn't treat and continued working. I've been weightlifting and squatting without pain ever since, but if I move my ankle a certain way, I feel this dull pain.
Ah I sprained my ankle 1st time years ago and It still hurts sometimes. Spraining ankles just sucks, I would recommend to go to the doctor and explain the situation
Sprained my ankle playing volleyball, senior here. You guys provide great information. I was looking for brace information, and you mentioned it. Thanks.
I injured my ankle Sept 17, 2019 and I’m just now being scheduled for an mri. I’ve been in a boot and it’s not healing and the pain has started to increase and not decrease. Why does it take the doctor so long to get me treated?
I get you! I was one month on a cast for my sprain, remove it 2 days ago and my leg had muscle mass loss, and it still hurts, cant walk normally, i havent been sble to go to a specialist because of my bad medical plan 😓😓
Great help! I sprained my ankle badly a week ago. The massage across the ligament is helping greatly today. Also did hot Epsom salts foot bath before massaging with lotion. Another thing to recommend. You guys are wonderful- such a gift! Thank you. Thank you.
I've never heard of the bone shift thing and it's 100% what I have. I sprained my ankle 18months ago and it not getting better. I have so much intense pain every day. That's why am watching this video. I have maybe 75% of range of motion in my damaged ankle too. Thankyou for this video, am definitely going to get it seen asap.
Thanks so much for this video, luckily I stumbled across this on day 0 of my ankle sprain (I train for and run half marathons). Am following all of your suggestions and already feeling much better!
yeah i really is working. i had an ankle sprain and even after a month i didn't have that range of motion u r talking about in this video . i just did as uou said and it really works. thankyou❤❤
Wow no one has told me this and I’ve had a sprain since July! It’s October now and I’m still in pain. I can’t wait to start doing this massage. Thank you so so much!

This was such an insightful video. Never cease to learn something new and helpful for a pain free life ❤
This really helped guys. Got in a motorcycle accident a few weeks back, was wearing full gear and doing everything right. Oncoming traffic, truck took a left in front of me and I T-boned him. Went over the truck and broke my right leg, compound fracture at the tib, and sprained my left ankle. My right leg now has a titanium rod installed, and my past PT appointments we noticed that my ROM is much greater on my right side than left side. My riding boots, the left one is turned inward a fair bit. Your videos really helped in understanding the healing process and the time frame behind it. Keep doing what you're doing 🤙
Cheers from Georgia
I tore my ligament years ago still have pain! Wish I'd seen this before
Just sprained my ankle with a Grade 2 ligament tear
This video is perfectly timed- let’s see what I could learn 🙌🏼
Are you fine now
This completely explained what has happened with my ankle! Immediate pain relief with massage! I was told I have loose ankles by a chiropractor and one keeps getting sprained, I thought i had no options! Thanks for what you do!!
7 years after and it really helped me especially with the cross massage and i ordered an ASO brace. Thanks a lot
Thank you! I rolled my ankle at basketball practice today and these tips helped out a lot. Feels better already
I just twisted my ankle this evening , had a pain killer injection and a lot of swelling. Just out of anxiety I found your video and I subscribed instantly. Tomorrow I will have my X-ray but I think I will be fine in no time after seeing your style of presentation. Thank you 🙏
Thanks Bob & Brad for this. I had a big tumble trail running the other day and sprained my ankle quite badly. I rested for two days and then have done these exercises for two days and my ankle is starting to feel HEAPS better. Thanks!!
The first tip took all my pain away, you guys are life savers!
I sprained or fractured my ankle 13 days ago and wish I saw this sooner! love the way you two explain things.. still swollen and sore hoping to have insurance soon but until than this should help... you guys rock
Fucking hell the concept of insurance is robbery
Sprained my ankle 2 months ago, have had to dance on it for the majority of the time since then. Trying taping and this massage now, fingers crossed!
How are you now is it better?
Sprained my ankle a week ago. Painful. Going to do this. I know it will help because u guys have helped us enormously with so many body issues. Thanks to You Two Marvels of Humanity. We ❤️ you.
I sprained mine 3 days ago...painful. Hope you are feeling little better.
@@ChandavlogsinCanada. i just sprained a few hrs ago today.
cant even walk properly, can feel all the bones etc even when bear a bit of weight or pressure, did you feel the same?
and what was your treatment and after how long did you feel better?
@@diauser3327 So sorry to hear that. Proper healing takes time and effort for sure. It took me around 3 weeks to put pressure and more 3 weeks for walking. Used the walking boot as doc recommended. Hope you feel better soon🤞
@@ChandavlogsinCanada. thanks for sharing your experience
Thank you guys!!!!!! You are the best I’m a skateboarder and you guys keep me safe after injuries
Mauricio Ruiz I just did something to my ankle skateboarding, funny thing is I don’t know how I just felt pain & was like wtf
As a skater, this is vital information.
bro, sprained my ankle for the 4th time yesterday with a treflip
@@jonasbluekens362 HAHA. Dude, Yeah... I’ve been skating for so long, that my ankles snap crackle and pop with every movement
I should have know about this years ago haha. My angles are terrible atm
I knew I wasn’t crazy to think there is more to healing w a sprained ankle….3 weeks out and my ankle still isn’t stable in the am. Swelling has gone down so I’m going to start strengthening! Thank you for your uploads!!
Thank you so much for your help. I recently sprained my ankle and this helped me a ton! You guys are great and i appreciate you very much
Omg thank you so much I did it and I immediately felt the different after 2 month of seeing physiotherapist. It felt so free and good I cried . Thank you so much
Tara Shahpoor right?! The relief was almost immediate!!!
Thanks. I've sprained my left ankle several times over the years. It's all good at the moment based in what you said here and the fact I do a lot of crossfit and yoga with no problems, but when it goes it seems to go easily so this will be helpful for speeding up recovery if it happens again.
If you ever sprain your ankle again that fastest way to heal is to walk without a brace day 1 and you will heal in a few days because your forcing your ankle to heal
U need to rehab ur ankles and make it stronger so it won’t sprain easily next time. Squat does strengthen ur ankles and joint but add some other ankle workout as well. Good luck
Sprained my ankle three weeks ago during basketball game and ankle still unstable. Trying the massage now learned through this video!
This channel is so amazing. It's so helpful and so straight-forward.
You 2 are fabulous help. I'm always referring peers to your videos.
Very informative, thank you! After breaking my ankle once, spraining it twice.. I sprained it yet again. I was told that my ankle is susceptible to being hurt again, but what you both said about repeat sprains makes complete sense. Thank you!
This video was very helpful. I had taken ibuprofen and it seemed the pain worsen. I was in bed in tears and got some relief following the line that you all drew … that’s exactly where my pain and tender areas - just grateful for relief
Great info! I have what they call/ you explained as "weak ankles" (since childhood, for whatever reason) and years ago my right ankle decided to give way...I heard two snaps and found out I tore ligaments and had to wear a splint I was black-and-blue...swollen....a nightmare. Since then, I sprain it every few years. The doctor told me that sprains, like mine, are a lot of times worse then breaks, but Never once, did the doctor suggest therapy.
If you ever sprain your ankle again that fastest way to heal is to walk without a brace day 1 and you will heal in a few days because your forcing your ankle to heal
@@sethdonahue7452 funny you mention that. When I aquired my worst sprain (20 years ago?), the emergency doc splinted it...when I made my follow-up, my doctor seemed upset with the splint and showed me exercises to aquire mobility. However, I found that the condition does tend to progress with age and ironically, with every sprain, the condition tends to become more subseptable for more sprains with each subsequent sprain... not going to lie, I adore platforms, dancing and liquor... I just wished someone advice me of strengthening exercises. Weirder still- I had mini-sprains in childhood..l Recall my ankles giving way for no reason at all..low I know about the agenda, but I digress.
@@LareesieAlice well if you ever sprain your ankle dancing or using platforms you can heal your sprains within less then a week every time if you walk without a brace right away you could probably dance after the first day and you will heal just a fast if not faster
@@sethdonahue7452 oh yeah, I found that out following the initial sprain. I also found that boots above the ankle help to stabilize it.
@@LareesieAlice yea but its not too good to stabilize that because it doesn't let the muscles do work and they become weaker also if you did resprain it with support since its harder to sprain again it will hurt a lot more
Guys, I have been in pain for over a month with my sprain! Just doesn't seem to be healing. This has been so helpful, you've no idea! Thank you so much!
not only helpful, but the interaction is hilarious.
I just did exactly this today. It is swollen, bruised and very sore. This will be so helpful
Hi! I sprained my ankle last March 28, I've been recovering now and will about to do a therapy as well. Thanks to this video I was a ble to know simple things that I can do at home. More videos please. I hope all therapist here in the Philippines are as kind as you.
I sprained my ankle (foot) today. Hurt like heck! And I have a stick shift, it was so hard to drive and push my clutch in with my bad foot. You are my go to guys, you’re the best!
New subbie here, sprained my ankle on mother's day. You guys look great in those blue shirts. Great information. Keep the videos coming
Thank you! I think that this massage is very useful for old sprains - I sprain my leg 1 year ago and now have a little problem with running, but 5 min of massage makes me happy and I believe that it is possible to fully recover
I always slap myself on the forehead for not coming to these videos sooner. Thinking that my body will heal much quicker than it does now in my 30s. This is the second injury these guys are helping me get through without having to go to the doctors, who have only ever just suggested medication. Thank you Bob and Brad!!
Made 3 years ago, but helpful today for my scary bruised and swollen ankle. Thanks, guys!
thanks for the good advice, I'm trying these things now
Sprained my ankle this morning, pain was killing me .. stumbled onto this video and the intro kind of made me feel a bit better 😂♥️
I have recently been diagnosed with a high ankle sprain. Today my PT did an ultrasound scan with this cool machine. You could see ligaments etc like an MRI. I was further diagnosed with a grade 2 high ankle sprain, partial tear of the tibiofibular ligament. I was also diagnosed with tarsal tunnel which I had never heard of. Suggestions for topics would be high ankle sprains and also tarsal tunnel. I was told the swelling in my ankle was compressing the nerve. If you have done videos in those already I apologize as I have missed them. Love your videos. Very informative and helpful. Thank you!
+physicaltherapyvideo thank you.
+physicaltherapyvideo what happened to Nancy at the ending credits?
+physicaltherapyvideo another topic is compression socks. My PT says I am supposed to wear one for the tarsal tunnel. There are different grades and the sizing is confusing. I am supposed to have light compression under 15. But 15 what lol. Also my measurements haven't fit within the off the shelf sizes. I have gone to my local pharmacy and a big box pharmacy. There is an ankle measurement and calf measurement. Which one are you supposed to fit to if one falls in the size measurements but the other doesn't. Never knew buying one pair of socks was so difficult lol looks like I will have to try ordering a pair but how do I know what is a good one that will fit? Some of the online ones go by shoe size but give no calf measurement. Thank you again. Keep up the good videos.
+physicaltherapyvideo thank you. I will look at it.
You guys have helped me so many times, I’m a rugby league player that takes a fair few knocks and your tips have helped me recover quicker than any other physio I’ve ever heard. Thank you so much :))))
Much appreciated, really looking forward to maximize my healing.
Hi Doctors. I am from Tamilnadu, India.last month I had ankle sprain. Not feeling better till now.today I saw your video. Thank you for your brief explanation.i will try cross tissue massage.Thanks a lot. So sweet of you both for your brief video
Damn i should've known them during may ankle injury days. They explain it clearly
Now you know for the future :)
I just sprained my ankle at softball practice two weeks before season starts this is helping a bit more so thank you !!
The cross-tissue massage thing worked great, thanks! :)
I had a 600 lb motorcycle take a nap on my right ankle and it is swollen and very painful. Doc says it is sprained, and I am digusted with myself for doing this....Thanks for the great video!
This is so good! I manually pushed the fibula back, and it worked instantly. Thanks so much!
Did you really? I have a feeling this might be my problem & going to the doc is not happening right now. 😔
I couldn't afford PT at $105 a session for my broken ankle.Your videos are so helpful and have saved me literally. Thank you so much. I'm a new Subscriber and I like ALL of your videos. Thank you.
Good stuff guys, very helpful, thank you so much 😁
You guys are so awesome and very helpful. You both are my go to channel for any pain I have. Thank you 🙏🏼🥰
It's been almost 3 months since I sprained my ankle, but I still have this dull pain near my malleolus. When I sprained, I didn't treat and continued working. I've been weightlifting and squatting without pain ever since, but if I move my ankle a certain way, I feel this dull pain.
Yh same , how does it feel now ?
Ah I sprained my ankle 1st time years ago and It still hurts sometimes. Spraining ankles just sucks, I would recommend to go to the doctor and explain the situation
Sprained my ankle playing volleyball, senior here. You guys provide great information. I was looking for brace information, and you mentioned it. Thanks.
I injured my ankle Sept 17, 2019 and I’m just now being scheduled for an mri. I’ve been in a boot and it’s not healing and the pain has started to increase and not decrease. Why does it take the doctor so long to get me treated?
I get you! I was one month on a cast for my sprain, remove it 2 days ago and my leg had muscle mass loss, and it still hurts, cant walk normally, i havent been sble to go to a specialist because of my bad medical plan 😓😓
kristen olsen of course the doctors will milk you for payment. I hope you are feeling better now though.
Insurance. That's what takes so long for tests to be approved. Or you could pay out of pocket.
It will get worse . We have to learn to live with the pain 😥. Ankle depression is real
@@kiaradelgado5321 how are you doing now ?
Great help! I sprained my ankle badly a week ago. The massage across the ligament is helping greatly today.
Also did hot Epsom salts foot bath before massaging with lotion. Another thing to recommend.
You guys are wonderful- such a gift! Thank you. Thank you.

LOL :)
Absolutely spot on. Thank you both😘😘
I've never heard of the bone shift thing and it's 100% what I have. I sprained my ankle 18months ago and it not getting better. I have so much intense pain every day. That's why am watching this video. I have maybe 75% of range of motion in my damaged ankle too. Thankyou for this video, am definitely going to get it seen asap.
Did you have to get an X-ray on ankle and upper leg?
Bro every time I think something can’t be fixed bob and Brad come to the literal rescue
This vid found me after I sprained my ankle 2days ago
Thank god I saw your intro. It was the best part of my life
Thanks so much for this video, luckily I stumbled across this on day 0 of my ankle sprain (I train for and run half marathons). Am following all of your suggestions and already feeling much better!
i cant believe it! after 17 weeks with ancle pain its finally better after i pushed the bone back and up.
How soon after an ankle sprain should you do a cross fiber massage?
yeah i really is working.
i had an ankle sprain and even after a month i didn't have that range of motion u r talking about in this video .
i just did as uou said and it really works. thankyou❤❤
That intro had me laughing for a good 2 minutes.
Wow no one has told me this and I’ve had a sprain since July! It’s October now and I’m still in pain. I can’t wait to start doing this massage. Thank you so so much!
Still?
