Rehab Science: Ankle and Foot

Description

Relieve ankle and foot pain and rehab injuries at home, with expert guidance

Ankle and foot pain and injuries put a real damper on your quality of life and keep you from doing the activities you enjoy. In-person physical therapy can work wonders to alleviate the discomfort, but not everyone has the time or resources to access that sort of care—and those who do often find that the number of sessions they are permitted is limited by their insurance. Rehab Science: Ankle and Foot empowers you to take charge of your own health, whether you have acute pain from an unknown cause, you sustained an injury, or you have chronic pain that just won’t go away. With some foundational knowledge and the right exercise strategies, you can figure out what’s wrong and take steps toward healing.

In this book, you will find:
· Proven methods for reducing pain and recovering from injury, including soft tissue massage, stretching, mobility exercises, and resistance exercises
· A systematic approach to identifying the type of ankle or foot pain or injury you have and selecting the right rehab exercise protocol to address it
· A clear blueprint for improving movement and mobility and increasing calf, ankle, and foot strength and tissue capacity
· A comprehensive “prehab” program to help prevent ankle and foot injuries and future flare-ups

 
This book provides three-phase exercise protocols for the most common pain and injuries in the ankles and feet, including:
·       Achilles tendinopathy and tears
·       Calf strains
·       Plantar fasciitis (fasciopathy)
·       Ankle sprains
·       Shin splints
·       Bunions
·       And more
 
Simply choose the protocol that matches your symptoms or condition and start doing the rehab exercises prescribed. Rehab Science: Ankle and Foot is your guide to stronger, healthier, more resilient ankles and feet.Tom Walters authors bestselling original book Rehab Science with Glen Cordoza.
