[email protected]ParticipantI don’t get this doing Monkey bars of death, but I do get it when i am doing Push outs. Hamstrings seem to be the common thing. Also the knee that crumples is also the hamstring that seems to be tighter. Would like to know what crunch knee sound is all about.
10/02/2014 at 8:03 pm in reply to: Explaning the Anatomy of the Ankles When Using Banded Distractions #75336[email protected]ParticipantSo, just for fun I got my smash partner to perform post tib smash on my leg — guess what it fixed my ankle. I get more rom out of it and everything. So it is upstream — it just sucks because stacking the ball is not enough. It does come back however. So hopefully it is not coming back because of poor form (I really do keep feet straight and don’t lean too much)
I recently realized that my left ankle is naturally valgus, so that means that most of my life my navicular bone was on the floor. I have to consciously create an arch and only recently have been doing so, does this create a stiff post tib?[email protected]ParticipantJulie,
any partner smash stuff using their feet? I use lacrosse balls, bone saw to do smashing, but it only really is effective after a partner smash using their feet.[email protected]ParticipantI think going slightly below parallel is the top number 1 thing people say. Beginners are the ones who are most affected by this as its advertised by many. The excuse I bought into was that it will work your quads more so then hamstrings thus leading to muscle imbalance and knee pain. It is a lot less sexy to talk about working on motor control before you can go below parallel.
[email protected]ParticipantSo how are you addressing your ATFL?
[email protected]ParticipantJeff,
I was wondering how this turned out for you. In my mind, if you can pretty much pull of pistols then ankle’s aren’t an issue..Any news?09/25/2014 at 2:28 pm in reply to: Explaning the Anatomy of the Ankles When Using Banded Distractions #75292[email protected]ParticipantDavid,
I think there is no major upstream post tib issues. There is definitely downstream issues with the post tib tendon along my big toe. Smashed that with a soft ball and kettle bell. Still too soon to tell because it was so tendor that too much smashing would make things worse (something I learned along the way) A couple of more sessions I hope will do the trick.I messed around with the band pulling my ankle out like you recommended as well. I can feel some relief, but nothing major. I retested with banded distraction with ankle dorsoflexion and it seemed to help.All of this plays to the idea that I lean on my left leg a lot and perhaps I have jamming it up everytime. It almost feels like I should be lighter on my feet.09/23/2014 at 9:33 pm in reply to: Explaning the Anatomy of the Ankles When Using Banded Distractions #75285[email protected]ParticipantCreating my arch by having my feet straight and slightly twisting the ground or creating external rotation. (I would imagine that my toes would be rotating to the outside)
Yeah smash the post tib with lacrosse ball stacked. All the way up to all the way to the bottom. No big deal for me really. HOWEVERWhen I smash calcaneus I end up hitting the very outside part of my foot/underneath that goes to the big toe and it does feel rather tender. Perhaps this blocked feeling is a down stream issue? I do smash my feet but would be hard to access that spot– kettle bell seems the only thing to access that area.Yeah banded distraction with Ankle DF is always to the outside — basically simulating knees out. I have been experimenting with my foot up on chair. It seems like my range of motion decreases with the typical knee down banded distraction http://www.mobilitywod.com/daily/friday-september-19th-2014/ In order to move my knee forward without lifting the heel I have to put the knee on the ground further behind me almost looking like I am doing a split.[email protected]ParticipantI did not have surgery. Seemed liked Kstar didn’t like the idea since its not giving me “pain”. I was more curious in getting surgery so that it wouldn’t affect other things in the system and cause more problems down the line. But that didn’t cross his mind it seemed. I was taking the “pain is a lagging indicator” philosophy, but I guess I don’t have to worry about it. It is annoying and weird to have the ability to raise my muscle up and down at will. As Kstar said “is the only reason why you want to fix it because you look like you have a boner poping out of your leg”… I dunno….Kstar…..hehe…i dont know.

Banded distractions seem to help a little. But blocking feeling still there. This is my left ankle. Creating an arch on left foot results in a stiff big toe where as on my right side the arch is more natural and my big toe can simply be soft (if that makes sense).Voodoo floss, smashing doesn’t seem to address the issue. Once I start creating an arch the feeling comes back.I am hoping there isnt a vein/spur issue.09/21/2014 at 8:39 am in reply to: Explaning the Anatomy of the Ankles When Using Banded Distractions #75269[email protected]ParticipantDavid,
What about blocked feeling in medial malleolus?
[email protected]ParticipantI hear some knee crackle when I do pushouts for my hamstrings. What can knee crackling imply? A long list of possibilities?
[email protected]ParticipantI think I cleaned up my internal rotation, but I still have a wod of tissue high hip/tfl area that won’t go away. My test is the wall squat with back on the floor. I need to do goalie stretch with band And then hip internal rotation to clean it up.
I think everybody should find out where their femor needs to go. I think mine should go to the side of the socket and then back. I dunno — just thinking out loud.[email protected]ParticipantMatti,
Can you describe the healing process? How long were you out of work? Are you in the US?[email protected]ParticipantOk when doing push outs with a band I feel most stiffness/burning muscle in my lower quad and lower hamstring.
Would flexion gapping with a peanut be helpful as a comobility exercise? Because I don’t really understand that mob. -
