Wall drills x 3

13/9/2020

0 Comments

 
  • Wall drill 1 – march and hold
  • The intention is to exercise the acceleration pattern, developing time under tension at the foot and ankle, then introducing fast contact, then adding a larger range of motion to the pattern.
  • Equipment needed: a wall.
  • Dosage: 4 to 5 repetitions should be enough, each side.  Hold the position for 5 seconds on each repetition.
  • Extra: Verbal cue: “hold the wall from falling over” will create tension from the hands, through the upper quarter, through the pillar to the stance leg – enhancing stability.
  • Progression 1: marching
  • Progression 2: load and lift
Before you go. You'll notice these drills start to resemble accelerating, in running. If you'd like a masterclass in running, check out a recent masterclass that Lance Walker did for me, called "Max Velocity Training for Physios".

Goblet Squat 3D Ankle

13/9/2020

0 Comments

 
  • The intention is to load the goblet squat and rotate the body, introducing subtalar and mid-foot pronation and supination.
  • Equipment needed: a heavy kettlebell.
  • Dosage: 4 to 5 repetitions should be enough, each side, in each of 3 positions.
  • Extra: Start with wide feet, then progressively move narrower.
  • Extra 2: Use a wedge under the heels if dorsiflexion is reduced or painful. Reduce the height of the wedge, or remove it, as the ankle dorsiflexion improves.

Single leg RDL

13/9/2020

0 Comments

 
  • The intention is to make it challenging for the stance foot and ankle (as well as knee, hip, pelvis and spine) to maintain static stability by moving proximal joints and contralateral limb, with weight. The weight, at a distance, amplifies stability issues and forces learning at the foot and ankle.
  • Equipment needed: a heavy kettlebell.
  • Dosage: 4 to 5 repetitions should be enough, each side.
  • Extra: place something under the lateral foot to magnify stability mistakes and increase learning stimulus.

  • The intention is to make it challenging for the stance foot and ankle (as well as knee, hip, pelvis and spine) to maintain static stability by moving a weight (the opposite leg) some distance from the foot and ankle.
  • The weight, at a distance, amplifies stability issues and forces learning at the foot and ankle.
  • Equipment needed: a stick for balance, if desired.
  • Dosage: no specific duration, but 5 to 10 repetitions should be enough, each side.

  • The intention is to use dorsiflexion at the ankle in the presence of a load that challenges spine, pelvis and hip posture.
  • Equipment needed: a heavy kettlebell
  • Dosage: no specific duration, but 10 repetitions should be enough.
  • Special Recommendation: move the knee laterally to the ankle.

Band-assisted ankle mobilisation

12/9/2020

0 Comments

 
  • The intention is to create accessory and physiological movement at the ankle
  • Equipment needed: a strong flat elastic band, a semi-circular foam roller or soft balance beam.
  • Dosage: no specific duration, but 10 repetitions should be enough.
  • Special Recommendation: apply the elastic band above the ankle, on the tibia, or below the ankle, on the talus – this will depend on which position creates better movement; move the knee laterally to the ankle.
