COPING WITH A WRONGLY-SET ANKLE
It's a sad fact, but medical science isn't perfect and there are occasions when a doctor re-sets a broken limb wrongly. This problem can be solved by the injured limb being re-broken and set again (ouch!), but if the patient doesn't choose this painful course of treatment they may subsequently suffer from joint problems in the future. If the limb in question is your ankle, you may find it painful to run or walk long distances, which can make staying fit and healthy tricky.
How can I strengthen a dodgy ankle joint?
With a wrongly-set ankle you will have to ensure that everything about your walking is ideal. Here are three recommendations to make a huge difference:
Your priority stretch should be a calf stretch:
Place a book (approx 3 inches in height) against a wall.
Place the ball of your foot on the book, making sure your heel is in contact with the floor and your foot is pointing forwards.
Keep the leg straight and use your other leg to support your body.
Lean hips in towards wall, till you feel a stretch in the back of lower leg.
Hold for 30 seconds, don't bounce.
This stretch has the potential to make a massive difference to your ankle so do it daily, especially before and after exercise!!
