Episode Summary:
Ankle mobility is crucial for various physical activities, including weight loss, strength training, and sports performance, but is often overlooked.
Limited ankle mobility can impact balance, gait, and overall movement, leading to potential injuries and reduced performance. Assessing ankle mobility involves a Functional Movement Screen and tests like the broad jump, vertical jump, and comparing right vs left leg performance. Correcting ankle mobility issues involves specific exercises and understanding the underlying causes, such as muscle tone or joint alignment. Effective ankle mobility training should be integrated into overall movement patterns and rehabilitation to ensure comprehensive improvement and prevent compensatory injuries.
