Foot is planted, Knee is mobile (3-10 rotation)

Foot rotates, Knee must remain stable

What happens when the Three joints dont work together

Mobile

Mobile

Stable

Tight hip muscles prevents mobile movement, movement is transferred to knee

PCL

ACL

ACL Tear

Degenerative Knee

Ankle Injuries

Swollen ankle, Achilles tendonitis

Retinacula

Peroneus longus muscle

Peroneus brevis muscle

Common sheath of peroneus longus and brevis tendons

Wheres the injury?

Peroneal Tendonitis

Video Jump In Motion

Achilles Tendonitis

Inflamed achilles tendon

Tight gastrocnemius

Bracing For Injury Only

Functional Rehabilitation

Stretch & Mobilization

Strengthen The Movement

Stabilize Without Delay

Energy does not dissolve, it transfers.

Remember M-S-M and S-M-S relationships.

Maintain healthy joint relationships with flexibility exercises.

Braces slow natural movement and interfere with balance and reaction time.
