    Martin,

    I was wondering if you had an update and what mobs have been working for you as I have the same issues as you. My soleus and calves feel like pure steel cables and my dorsiflexion is even worse than yours.

    Tiger,

    Thanks for the tips as I will be watching some of those videos and trying to loosen my tight ankles up, I just want to be able to sit in a paleo chair.

    Thanks everybody!

    Frankie,
    I am curious about this question too as my ankle ROM is terrible, and I can’t keep my heels from coming off the floor when I squat. I have done some research into people who have squatted in a “paleo chair” for 10-30 minutes a day for 30 days or more, and it seems that their hip ROM and ankle ROM increases as well, but I would love to hear what everyone else has heard or seen as well. Thanks for asking this question.

    Thanks a ton with the videos Kaitlin. I’ve noticed some changes but I also know that full ROM again will take a long time to achieve it seems.y only other question is how should I program these mobs. I understand that you are supposed to mobilize everyday, but how many mobs for my ankles and hips should I be doing every session and how many sessions should I be doing a day with the amount of restriction I have and with how fast I want to make changes?

    Thanks again for all the help

    Thanks for the videos Kaitlin. To answer your questions I have been doing foot rolls with a lacrosse ball when I do my ankle mobility. My hamstrings have always been really tight as well. I can barely even reach to my ankles when I bend over. Would this have any effect on my squat restrictions? I also do lack some hip IR as I can’t keeps feet pointed straight ahead when I squat, but I don’t feel a lot of hip restriction when I squat but I know they are a little tight when I try to squat when I have weight overhead. My ankle flexion is definitely limited as I can barely get it to 90 degrees when I go into dorsiflexion. When I have plates under my heels when I do squats I can squat below parallel and almost reach butt to heels. I hope this answers some of your questions and thanks again for the help!
