How to loosen and help stiff Ankles? What exercises can you do for stiff ankles to improve your ankle mobility? This video shares 8 strategies to improve ankle mobility. Here’s Why You Need to Loosen Up! Did you know that poor ankle mobility can lead to pain, discomfort, and even injuries in other parts of your body? Your ankles are the foundation of movement—whether you’re walking, running, or simply getting up from a chair. If they’re stiff, your body has to compensate, leading to imbalances and strain elsewhere. 5 Problems Caused by Stiff Ankles: Increased Risk of Injury – Limited mobility places extra stress on the knees, hips, and lower back. Poor Balance & Stability – Stiff ankles make it harder to stay steady, increasing the risk of falls. Reduced Athletic Performance – Whether running, jumping, or squatting, restricted ankle movement limits power and efficiency. Foot Pain & Plantar Fasciitis – A lack of mobility in the ankle can lead to poor foot mechanics and pain. Knee & Hip Problems – If the ankle can’t move properly, other joints compensate, leading to strain and discomfort. 5 Reasons Why Good Ankle Mobility is Important: Better Walking & Running Mechanics – Healthy ankles ensure smooth, efficient movement. Reduced Risk of Falls & Injuries – Improved mobility supports better balance and control. Pain Prevention – Keeping the ankles mobile prevents stress from shifting to the knees, hips, and lower back. Improved Sports Performance – Whether playing football, running, or skiing, flexible ankles enhance agility and power. Healthier Joints for Longevity – Maintaining ankle mobility helps prevent wear and tear over time. 5 Strategies to Improve Ankle Mobility: Calf Stretching – Stretch your calves daily to reduce tightness and improve ankle flexibility. Ankle Circles & Mobility Drills – Move your ankle in all directions to increase range of motion. Heel Drops on a Step – Lowering your heels below a step helps stretch and strengthen the ankle. Foam Rolling the Calves – Loosening up the calf muscles allows the ankle to move more freely. Deep Squats with Heel Support – Practicing controlled deep squats can enhance ankle mobility over time. At BOOST PHYSIO, we help our patients improve mobility, prevent injuries, and keep moving pain-free!

Travis, one of our physios in Hampstead NW3 is using electrical stimulation to help this patient recover after knee surgery. What Is Electro Neuromuscular Stimulation (EMS)? EMS involves the use of small electrical impulses to stimulate muscles and nerves. These impulses mimic the natural signals your brain sends to your muscles, prompting them to contract and relax. This therapy is non-invasive, safe, and often used alongside traditional physiotherapy techniques to enhance outcomes. How Does EMS Support Rehabilitation? EMS is a versatile tool with many applications in rehabilitation. Here are some of the ways it can help: Improving Muscle Strength and Function After an injury or surgery, muscles can become weak due to disuse or immobilization. EMS helps maintain and rebuild muscle strength by activating specific muscle groups, even when you’re unable to perform full movements yourself. Reducing Pain EMS can help manage pain by stimulating the release of endorphins—your body’s natural painkillers. It can also block pain signals from reaching the brain, providing relief and allowing you to engage more effectively in your recovery program. Enhancing Circulation The rhythmic contractions triggered by EMS improve blood flow to the treated area. This promotes healing by delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues while flushing out waste products. Preventing Muscle Atrophy Prolonged inactivity can lead to muscle atrophy, where muscle tissue wastes away. EMS helps prevent this by keeping muscles active and engaged, even during periods of limited mobility. Learn more here about how we use EMS at BOOST PHYSIO.

How And Why Physios Use Taping To Help Injuries And Pain Taping is one of the many tools we love using at BOOST PHYSIO to help our patients manage and treat their injuries and painful conditions. Whether our patient is recovering from a sports injury, joint pain, muscle strain or chronic discomfort, we can use taping as a helpful component of our treatment plans. In this blog article, we’ll explain why and how our team at BOOST PHYSIO use taping, why it works, and when it’s most beneficial. What Types Of Taping is Used By Physiotherapists? Taping involves applying adhesive tape to the skin to provide support, reduce pain, and promote recovery. The two main types of taping used by BOOST PHYSIO are: Kinesiology Taping (K Tape): Flexible tape (usually brightly coloured) designed to mimic the skin’s elasticity, allowing for movement while providing support. Rigid Taping: Non-elastic tape used to stabilise joints and restrict certain movements to protect and prevent further injury.
