The Ready State: Mobility Training with Dr. Kelly Starrett › Forums › Foot/Ankle › limited dorsiflexion+very tight calves/shins with lateral ankle instability
Kaitlin Lyons.
lexiejbohlmanHey,
I have very limited dorsiflexion… as in I can barely lift my toes off the ground when pulling them towards my shins. My calves and shins are tight and have been working on those areas a lot more since finding The Ready State. Unfortunately, I have had to put running on hold because of chronic pain in my calves, lack of dorsiflexion, and front ankle pain. In combination with that, I have lateral ankle instability and tend to roll my ankles very easily. My ankles kind of flop side to side without me even realizing it.
I have been to multiple physical therapists and haven’t gotten anywhere. These issues have impacted everything I do on a regular basis. I am starting to feel pain while walking… Any advice for me?
Kaitlin LyonsLexie,
Have you checked things up stream of the ankle?
Have you performed any of the ankle dorsi flexion episodes?

How Much ROM Do You Need, Really?
There are more.
Have you seen Jami and Roop’s 5 part Foot and Ankle Series?
Are you seeing improvements with what you are addressing with your calves?
Your foot wear during the day could be a contributing factor.
lexiejbohlmanI have checked things upstream. My
Calves are insanely tight. Have been for a very long time. Everything from my knees down are locked up. I have worked on my calves through protocols from The Ready State and have been to multiple physical therapists.
A lot of the Dorsiflexion protocols are too challenging for me because I cannot get into the correct position.
I haven’t ever really seen improvements in my calves. I start to feel like they might be loosening up and then something aggravates them.
I’ll check out those videos you sent! Thank you!!
Kaitlin LyonsSounds like you are going after symptoms and haven’t determined the root cause.

Did you have an injury?
