I don’t know about you, but I only believe that my sprained ankle is completely rehabbed when I can do everything that I did before the injury without pain or worrying about injuring that ankle again.

The more I sprained my ankles, the more stiffness developed in my joint and the more that resulted in additional and more severe sprains…it was a never ending, vicious circle that kept me on the sidelines a good part of my highschool and early college career.

I would just get the stiffness worked out doing normal rehab activities which lasted weeks and then I’d re-injure my ankle again.

It was only after I was introduced to a wobbleboard that I experienced true rehab of my sprained ankles. The wobbleboard allowed me to slowly and safely stretch my damaged/scared ligaments and tendons.

Because of the way the wobbleboard was built, I had the confidence that I could not damage my ankle any more and since the design integrated the full range of motion that an ankle could move in, I knew that if I was consistent in following my rehab program that I would see dramatic and total success.

I was fortunate enough to have a seasoned physical therapist show me exactly how to use a wobbleboard the proper way the first time I used it. If he hadn’t, I would not have done it properly.

Although using the wobbleboard is not difficult, it does require a little bit on instruction to make certain the results are ideal.

A customer of mine was not using the wobbleboard properly and it resulted in unbalanced rehab of his sprained ankle. He continued to have difficulty and pain while he was walking and especially when he was hitting a golf ball of the tee. He gave me a call and I talked him through the process…within 15 minutes he was already seeing dramatic improvement.

Because using the wobbleboard properly is so critical to success in rehabbing a sprained ankle, I have created a video that includes specific instructions on how to use the wobbleboard to get maximum results. You can get the video as part of my How to Heal Your Sprained Ankle in 7 Days or Less™ Program.

Here’s the key in avoiding/preventing one sprained ankle after another – make sure your brain knows what position your anke is in.

When you sprain your ankle, there is more that happens than just damage to tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues…the electrical connection in your foot that tells your brain the position of your foot in relation to your body may also be damaged. Your sore ankle needs more than just strengthening, it needs to be re-calibrated with your brain.

The technical term is proprioceptors, but to make it simple, it is the sensor in your foot that tells your brain the position of your foot in relation to your body.

Why is this important? Because if your sore ankle is telling your brain that it is flat when in actuality it is at an angle you will injure your ankle again and it will more severe than the last time. When this sensor is not working properly in conjunction with the brain your balance can also be affected.

Most sprained ankle rehab programs or sprained ankle rehab kits that are being sold today on the internet do not have any component that addresses re-aligning, re-connecting or recalibrating the electrical connection between the brain and the sensor in your foot. This aspect of rehab is just as important as ankle strengthening.

The best way to re-connect the sensor in your foot with your brain is by using a wobble board. The wobble board will help you improve your balance and re-calibrate the sensor in your foot with your brain so your brain always knows the correct location of your foot in relation to your body.

Until I integrated the use of a wobbleboard into my sprained ankle rehab regimen, I continued to have recurring ankle sprains and each one of them was more severe.
