    I'm transitioning from 'regular' athletic trainers/sneakers to ones that are zero drop. I noticed a lot of stiffness in my ankles after the first few days in the transition. Using the band helps, but this roller exercise revealed a big tightened area I wasn't aware of. I also learned I need to roll off my arch when using the band because those muscles along my shins tend to take the load when I walk/run. Thanks so much!!!

I’m a ballet dancer and have been struggling with a sore achilles, ankle clicking and a feeling like my ankle needs to pop but won’t for weeks on my left side. I can’t properly point my foot. I turned to TY for some possible advice and this was exactly what I needed. Just in the few minutes I tried these exercises I noticed an improvement in my mobility. There’s still some dysfunction going on but it’s better and I just need to work on it more. As a dancer it’s scary to lose function in our feet.

    Thanks so much for the vid. Had been running for 2 years with no Injuries.
    2 months ago I ended up with peroneal Tendonitis (including pain near toes and also all the way up the leg), ankle clicking, and extreme tightness in the back. I had no idea that they might be connected, but your video makes complete sense.
    I'd recently lost hope of being able to complete my first marathon, or any other races, because I'd be trying some band exercises for peroneal Tendonitis but the pain just kept coming back. Trying these exercises, relief was almost instant! I'm hopeful at least there is a road to recovery, and it starts from addressing all the issues. Really appreciate the video, and I'll be tuning in for more tips.

I followed your instructions but first also did an exercise to get the blood flow going in that area (Calf to ankle). I found your video yesterday, tried it as soon as I got home from work and today, the clicking is much less! Almost can’t hear or feel it. I’m in shock it was so easy and that it worked so quickly. I felt tightness in my calf that I just couldn’t loosen - I don’t even feel the tightness as much! Thank you so much!!! I am going to continue the exercises.

    Sprained ankle many times, many years ago, twice with full bodyweight coming down on left ankle jumping over a gate and landing unevenly on dried, baked hard tractor wheel ruts. Holy Moly! That perineum tendon and muscle was tight as hell. I found the spot 👍up top of the perineal tendon and even just 5 min with a roller released a whole load of tension in the ankle. Top, top video. Many thanks.
    Edit: also seems to have reduced the clunking I had in my hip area and it appears compensation was happening in the calf too. I have so much more spring that I can now hop on what was previously a pretty messed up ankle with little strength, stability and range of movement. Absolutely brilliant. Chuffed to bits. Thanks again for sharing.

    I recently found this video after going for a long run (8 miles) for the first time in a while and waking up the next morning with some pretty intense pain on the outside of the arch which I kind of narrowed down to either Cuboid Syndrome or Peroneal Tendonitis. As I started doing research to help understand the pain it dawned on me that I was never questioning the reason why my ankles seem to have always cracked when I rotate them. Kind of interesting to find that it may ALSO be connected to the Peroneal Tendon. Really like how you stress the connection between the system through ankles->calves->knees->hips->low back. Gonna give some of these exercises a try and see if they help me out some.

It sure still clicks a lot especially during the moment I do jumping jacks. It seems that exercise does something to my ankles and it loves to click but when I try normal motion it clicks less 2-3 times than when I began working out. Also seeing massive change when I go up the stairs, almost no clicks. Hope over time it ends for good, but I'm still happy with results I see now.

    My peroneal tendon constantly pops back and forth when I put weight on the ball of my foot or do exercises like calf raises. I can even make it pop back and forth on command. It's been like this on both my feet since I was in elementary school or earlier. I've never had any ankle injuries.

      @@YourWellnessNerd I’ve had a bad lower back a couple years ago and still go to the chiropractor occasionally now. There was a time 1/2 years back that I would have pain every night and morning in my lower back and struggle to move if I didn’t stretch. It’s much better now as I’ve slowly incorporated back strengthening exercises to my workout. But I do also think my inner hip (groin area) rotation and strength are very poor. Any videos or tips on that?
      Also I’d like to ask when do you think is optimal to stretch like this. I wake up and workout at 5:30am 6 days a week and normally head straight to work with little time to spare. Is it fine doing things at night or is it best to do them sometime before working out. Which in my case would be right when I wake up.

    Hi Grant, thank you for this! It was really helpful. I've had always had a click - and a bit of pain now - in my left ankle. I tried some of the exercises you recommended and I can see that my peroneal muscles and ankle are very tight. To be honest, even after 5-10 minutes there already seems to a be a bit of relief. What kind of frequency would you recommend doing the exercises and stretches? I workout most days so could always incorporate them as part of a cool down. Don't want to overdo it frequency wise so any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks again

    Any idea how something like this could happen somewhat spontaneously? I never had this issue until a few months ago. Both my ankles started to have this popping Tendon every time I moved them in a certain way. It doesn't hurt much, but it's uncomfortable, and I'm often sat feeling like I need to "pop" the Tendon to release tension every so often. I haven't been doing any serious walking or running. The only thing I could trace it to was a new pair of sandals I bought around the same time. Could that cause the issue?

      Hi mate from my clinical experience things that tend to happen spontaneously or feel like they come on out of nowhere often mask the fact that things may have been building up slowly overtime in the background without a person realising. Typically, when we notice the onset of something that wasn’t traumatic it’s good to think of this as the last straw rather than the start of something new. so while it can absolutely feel like something spontaneous and brand-new there is typically a legacy of surrounding tissue stiffness or tightness or weakness or poor loading somewhere but the catch is that you often have to look for it to find it. Hope things have improved since you posted your comment!

    i dont just have clicking, i have a violent snapping in my ankle and i broke my spine when i was 17. thats about when this snapping started. im 28 now. its now started impact my ability to walk. it did not used to hurt. I thought it was a nitrogen deposit like what my pcp told me it was 10 years ago so i didnt think much of it. "dont worry about it until your in pain is" what he told me. well now i see its definitely related to back issues as well as rolling my ankles too many times in middle school sports.... I took a Gua Sha to it the other day and i wasnt in violent pain today for most the day i wasnt limping for most the day. can you make a whole follow up for people with more than just a little clicking but 10 years of very loud snapping? Oh and I have EDS so thats probably not helping anything. i do not have those tools and im poor but i do have a Gua Sha

    I sprained my left ankle when I was 17 and once the swelling went away and I started walking, every step my ankle clicked loud. Im 38 now and tried everything. Doctors had no clue and physical therapy and ibuprofen was often their solution. I can't walk more than 10 minutes before it starts swelling and hurting. I can't sneak up on anyone anymore.

    What if nothing seems to ever release the tightness in your back no matter how long you lay on balls or get massages. What can you do for longterm chronic tightness?

    • @YourWellnessNerd
      @YourWellnessNerd  Pƙed 2 měsĂ­ci

      Generally it requires an environmental shift where each person needs to consider why that area has become tight and which daily shapes and postures might be asking things to be tight in the first place. Strength may help some as well.

  • @shayfrancis1030
    @shayfrancis1030 Pƙed 3 měsĂ­ci

    I have had clicking in my ankles for years and they seem to coincide with my plantar fasciitis which I have been battling. There is a positive correlation between clicking and pain. My question for the last few years has been what is causing my pain, is it the tightness which in turn causes the clicking or muscular weakness? I know my plantar fascia tissue being overloaded is at the root of my injury, but I am a young very athletic 23yo male who used to work out and play sports very frequently although less so no because of the injury so it seems odd to me that my muscles are weak when they look well defined and larger than average. I have tried calf stretching and foot stretching but that seems to provide only temporary relief. Any thoughts?

    • @YourWellnessNerd

      Hi Shay! I can’t speak to your specific issues over the internet without assessing you unfortunately. However from a general perspective, if a few things are going on at the same time it’s less likely they are seperate issues and more likely symptoms of a deeper issue. Clinically I find plantar fasciitis and perineal dysfunction can relate to underlying ankle joint stiffness and even lower back dysfunction - but you’d possibly need to have someone figure it out for you if you don’t feel comfy doing it yourself.

    Surely doing any kind of ankle movement is going to stop the clicking for a while? Mine has clicked my whole life, but if I deliberately make it click a few dozen times, it eventually settles down and is quiet for a little while.

      It really depends mate, I can't give any specific advice over the internet, but from a general standpoint, working on any tight, restricted tissue away from the injured site is often safe if it feels comfortable. Best to have is assessed in person for the best advice.
