    I have the same issue as Jonathan describes, I got x-rays, and I DO have bone spurs… I asked for advice on whether to get them surgically removed in the link I posted (above), but I was discouraged from doing so, and end-range hip flexion mobs were recommended.  However, based on this video that was recommended to me (http://www.mobilitywod.com/daily/wednesday-august-21st-2013/), it looks like I really do just have ankle dorsiflexion issues, not hip issues.  I’m watching Kstar demonstrate at the beginning of the video what it would look like to be inhibited by hip flexion, and that is not what I’m feeling.  Like Jonathan mentioned, I’m not even trying to squat or get into a pistol.  I’m just doing some ankle flexion mobility tests – basic stuff.  I hit a wall.  Here’s my discussion I just created on the matter (http://www.mobilitywod.com/community/#/discussion/938/lots-of-peroneal-tendon-heel-cord-tension-).  I need help, too, and I feel like I have the same thing Jonathan has.

    Matti, did you have your bone spurs removed?

    Thanks for the great links, David! I’m definitely going to follow those gymnastics wod videos.

    I will say I’ve heard bad things about squatting above proper depth. I’ve heard if you don’t reach a certain depth, you won’t properly load your posterior chain, leaving most of the tension in your quads – this is supposedly bad because it creates uneven tension in the tendons around your knee. Can you comment on that?

    Also – it looks like that California Strength video isn’t really “MWOD kosher” in terms of foot, knee, and head placement. (feet rotated out too far, knees not out far enough, head looking forward)

    Thanks!  I will watch those videos and incorporate them into my daily mobilization.


    “The ankle issues that were more severe healed better because you were more restricted.”

    Could you elaborate on this?
