How to increase ankle range of movement after surgery | Feat. Tim Keeley | No.14 | Physio REHAB 

I wish my physio had been like this after my ankle break. All mine did was show me how good she was at dorsiflexion and said even my good ankle was crap. Good video!

This is the point in my recovery thats really holding me up

I’m terrified of this lol🙃 have to go to physical therapy after ankle ORIF and I’m so scared of how much it’ll hurt

hate doing this... The tightness sucks and if you accidentally over do it,your gonna feel that pop n a bit of pain but it's all good cause it's loosening it.. 3 weeks after surgery on my ankle and doing home therapy..drs never gave me a plan to recover..so I'm using youtub3 yet again

Mine has sever pain I absolutely CANNOT do this😭

That assisted mobilization looks like it feels amazing. Are there any unassisted methods that you can refer or do a video of?

It’s been 5 weeks since my surgery how long do I have to wait till I do this

I am 3 weeks post op and start physio in another 3 weeks. I'm so excited to get started. But also, I was worried about how tight my ankle feels in that same place. Good to know that it's common!!! ❤

Sir I am INDIAN and my dream was to join the army , i had this dream from when i was a little kid but after this surgery I was feeling a bit of i am 17 years old now i removed my implants i want to be able to make that angle normal so that i could run and do everything for joining the army. Even when the implant was implanted after that i could bearly run and it was not much flexible the physiotherapy is not working pretty good and when i ran i got a bit bent in the angle which slowed me down. Can i still make that ankle normal,flexible and strong again?? 😥

I had a car accident and had a fracture to my left talus and complete removal of my right talus. I had fusion of my right ankle. I'm currently seeing an out patient physical therapy. I'm wondering if there is a specialist or specific one for my ankles.

i had an operation after i had partial achilles tendon tear 2 month before now i can't move my ankle fully is this exercise gonna help me .

After having had surgery for a Weber B fracture, just watching this makes my ankle scream in pain. I have extremely limited range of motion and cannot figure out how to get it back. Rehab = sprains no matter how many times I tell them "I can't move that way"

Respected sir🙏 I got accident on 1st march 2018 and my ankle opened, my my all tendon cut which helps to move finger...I got plastic surgery...till now my ankle not moving properly...it might be 15 degree move up and down....can i recover if i do hard exercise..one bone also broken that time... Doctors put external fixtor....In side my ankle there is no scroo and plate....

I had surgery on my right leg .I have two plates on my orif tiba and orif fibula now is two days since I removed the cast but I can't stand ..it is very painful. will I ever regain my mobility?

Hi, I didn’t my ankle scope last year july. My ankle sometimes pain & whenever I wear shoe I feel tight. What can be the causes?

I have exactly the same issue as the girl in the video. My injury identicle. Just to confirm...are you pulling at the talus or trying to push it in as she flexes forwards? Really appreciate any reply☺

What should I do...I am scared..I think I can't do this..it's so painful..God 🥺

Hi.. i am from Nigeria. Thank you for the video.. am super glad to see this video hoping it will be helpful to me in time to come.. please i had an ankle injury on my right leg one month ago and the big bone (Tibia) came out of my flesh causing a big wound, while the small bone (fibula) got broken. But after the surgery the (fibula) have been fixed with some irons to keep it strong while it heals which was stitched with no visible wound but the (Tibia) was fixed back to it usual position and was stitched a little which closed only 10 percent of the wound leaving 90 percent of it opened. Because the doctor said is not good to stitch it all closed because the flesh that the bone popped out from was already dead before the surgery so he cut them off meaning i have to wait for the flesh to grow again.. please my QUESTION IS: can i do these exercise while the wound is still open and not yet totally healed or should i wait till the flesh wound is totally healed before i start this exercise? Please a Quick reply will be so HELPFUL 🙏. i am in need of the help. Thank you.

I am about to complete 6 weeks after my ORIF surgery. And my ankle muscle feels so stiff I cant even put it fully on surface

What do you do if that kind of pushing past your range causes great pain and swelling?

What about when you have a bunch of pain when you try and do that

I broke my ankle 2 years ago and haven’t been able to walk in heels since. Will this help?

Patricia is REAALLLY beautiful

Im having the same problem

Hello dear thanks for the video . I had my surgery on december 30 2017 and now I have been advised by my doctor to join my office . I broke my fibula and doctor have put plate and screw on my ankle . I have been asked to wear ankle brace and use a walker for 1 week and then use a stick to walk . If I am going t the bathroom and moment I put my foot on the ground I feel I am going to fall , any suggestions how much time it takes to heal . it is very painfull . Only thing i do is hot water massage and putting oil on the affected leg . thanks

Thank you!

I’m struggling to get that dorsiflexion back since my ankle fracture and I’m only 21 I feel like body forgot that

you sound system is severely LACKING

cool, but not really feasible without professional assistance.

my plantar fascia gets aggravated anytime i try to get my ankle flexibility back . i want to give up and get achilles tendon lengthening surgery.

I broke my ankle and didn’t have surgery but I have the same stiffness, how long will it take to get full range motion back?

Can you do if you have plates and screws

Update sir hows the ankle exercise cause i have same case

Help not getting right treatment they tried and break ankle help plus i exerise he said he owns me a world

How about if you have a calcaneal fusion. Can you do this?

Before 6months my talus dislocated and operating..my ankle not moving not completely...that ful mooving return or not

Sir does full stifness go in a year after ankle orif surgery... Or some stifness lefts for ever for life?... As it's my 10th month there is still stiffness ... Plz reply if someone plz tell me if stiffness goes fully or not 🙏

I have exactly the same range of movement in my ankle after my surgery.. did she regain full movement after doing this?

Had surgery in Feb walking on ankle in May and yeah hurts really bad that range of motion. Right now my goal is to just walk pain free . Is this recommended with subtalar joint fusion?

Can you point me where I can buy that black strap you use? Does it have a generic name in PT world? Thanks.

Can't see anything properly what you roing

I had a ankle ligament replacement surgery done 2 weeks back. My injury was 7 months old and my ankle movement is same as her in video. I'll have pt starting next month. Will I be able to regain complete movement?

❤️

I have 16 screws and 3 plates can this prevent the joint from moving?

Did the ankle fully recover after all these years? My dorsiflexion looks as limited as hers (today, 10 years after surgery.) Is there hope for me at this point? I really want to regain my motion somehow. Dorsiflexion above everything

Should I try this at home?

how is she now? has it made any difference?

Why cant i do that it pains

I have questions yuo have plare and scrub in you surgery of ankle?

Towards the end of the video, you mentioned it's a good thing she was not having too much pain, is it normal to feel the pain? My ankle is stiff and when I stretch or put pressure , it feels tight and a little pain

20th of this month i would be completing my 6months after my ankle surgery just wondering can a person be able to jump after 6months

I broke my ankle going into HS, 16 years ago. I had no PT after removing my cast. Is it to late to rehab the tightness?

Is there anyway to do this alone? I have no pt and no one around me to help

Can we use muscle simulator for ankle range of motion¿???

I had an open ankle fracture injury whilst playing soccer exsctly a year ago and I had an open reduction internal fixation on the ankle but range in my ankle is reduced, the ankle is partially stiff with some pains and the bones in the ankle click whenever I do foot rotation on my couch or bed and sometimes whilst standing as well which is annoying. Another issue is if I sat on a chair or slept on my bed for a long period, I need to do foot rotation before I get up as this will help me walk without pain. My doctor had advised I should not rush back to soccer as the injury can take up to 2 years to fully heal!. What do you suggest I do to solve the above mentioned issues as this is getting so frustrating?. Many thanks.

🙄 this doesn't help if you had brostrom gould amd 2 ligaments repaired

My post surgery ankle stiffness as about as much as she has in this video. Do I just keep doing these stretches plus strength training? How much range should i expect to get back??
