if you’ve done your ankle playing soccer on the weekend and want to speed things up, here’s what i reckon..
rice is out, police is in: protect + optimal loading + ice + compression + elevation
instead of resting and waiting, moving with the right amount of load early is going to be your best bet!
its why in my mind, these aqua bags are a no brainer - low load, plenty of feedback for the body to learn how to move again, and its a proper humbling experience.
drills to maybe add to your arsenal:
• single leg aquabag shakes
• hinging aquabag wall hits
• single leg v punch with rotations to target (thanks tommyallott)
• ankle gapping for range
• banded perturbations
tag a mate with weak ankles that you need back on the field next week 😂
