Excellent! Recovering from a broken ankle and lateral tendon tears. I've been using self massage since the cast came off and was ready for something more specific. This was perfect.

Thanks! Physical therapy NEVER gets into this...it's all about PULLING straps and leaning into walls! I have an ankle mobilization problem in one foot especially, so I'm going to start this specific routine every day... it feels so good and I think it's going to help me a lot!!

I wish I knew this routine years ago. My ankles are pretty beat up due to playing football in college. I suffered peroneal tendon subluxation and was able to make a great recovery because my trainer was awesome but this would have been a major plus.

I'm so grateful I found this video, I have to be to work in a couple hours and my ankle has been giving me a great deal of pain the last few days. I have total mobility now that I followed this short video! Thank you. I'm anxious to see how this holds up during my shift.

Thanks. Any massage technique for inflammed ankle area that's safe? It's at the back of that protruding ball on the side.

Keep looking amazing and talents ma'am Rachel.

I love your video. It is so much helpful. Everyday I do your massage technique. I want to see diaphram massage and biceps & deltoid massage. These are my stiff spot.

Thank you so much it relieved my pain with min Thank you again for help

[SomarDee]

Thank you for this. It may sound strange, but is there any way you can show us how to do the massages from a different closer angle, for those of us that can't bring the knee to the chest but can cross the leg a little and bring the foot to side?

Will this be good for someone that suffers from ankle stiffness from having fibromyalgia? My ankles feel like there sprained constantly and I’m trying to resolve this. Even if I have to keep doing them. I can’t take this any longer.

I have a sprain in my ankle and it hurt to bend it, doing this exercise gave me more flexibility in it, thanks for the tips. Still going to use the RICE method, but I was thinking this might help it.
