Ankle Pain

Post by 420FootBager »

last 5 or so times i've shreded i get this kinda sore feeling in my ankle... I can feel it when I first start and it gets progressivly worse as I play...

Have any of you experienced this? if so can you tell me whats wrong with me?

I was thinking maybe I need to strech my ankle B4 I play...

Have you been trying a lot of clippers? That could do it....

Stretch stretch stretch!

Stretch your ankles before you start doing clippers, and always stretch after you are done kicking!

I used to get ankle pains from doing stepovers and inside stalls. Eventually it just went away... I think it was due to lack of ankle strength. One way to build ankle strength/stability is to do a quad stretch with your eyes closed and try and stay balanced.

Ankle exercises will help alot. Try standing on your tip toes for 20 seconds and then stand on your heels for 20 seconds. Repeat this three times before shredding and several times between shred sessions. This will help more than I can telll you. Richie
