Ankle tightness or pain when squatting? 🦶🏋‍♂️

If you're heels want to come off the floor, your squat feels restricted, or you feel a pinch in the front of your ankle, your 1st thought might be:

"I need to stretch my calves. "

But sometimes the problem isn't simply a "tight muscle. "

Sometimes your ankle joint isn't moving well.

This banded ankle mobilization can help improve ankle dorsiflexion and make your squat feel smoother.

Using a band can help:

- improve ankle mobility
- increase dorsiflexion
- reduce that "blocked" feeling
- improve squat depth
- make your squat feel more comfortable

The key?

It shouldn't hurt.
It shouldn't create more pressure or pinching.
It should actually feel better as you move.

After working with 100s of patients, I've learned this:

✅️ Better = you're probably moving in thy right direction.
❌️ Worse = that strategy may not be right for you.
➡️ No change = you may not be addressing the actual problem.

If your ankle keeps feeling tight or painful when you squat, run, or lunge, there may be a reason why.

If your in the Centerville/ Kettering area and dealing with ankle pain, stiffness, or mobility restrictions, send me a DM with "ANKLE" and let's see if I can help. 💪

And follow New Day Physical Therapy for more practical physical therapy tips to help you keep training, moving, and doing the things you love.

Hip pain when exercising? 👇

Pain in your hip when you squat, lunge, run, or deadlift?

Don't just start stretching.

The problem may not just be a tight muscle.

Sometimes the way the hip joint is moving may be part of the problem.

The banded hip mobilization can help hip movement and flexion.

Hip pain when squatting? 👇

Feel pain in your hip when you squat, lunge, or Deadlift?

Don't just start stretching.

The problem may not be a tight muscle.

Sometimes, the way your hip joint is moving may be part of the problem.

The banded hip mobilization can help improve hip movement and flexion- and may reduce that uncomfortable pinching sensation.

✅️ Afterwards did the pain/pinch get better?
You may be moving in the right direction.

❌️ Did the pain get worse?
That strategy may not be right for you.

➡️ If nothing changed we may need to look at the bigger picture.

If your hip pain keeps coming back when you squat, deadlift, lunge or exercise don't just stretch it.
