@@Ryan83728 You're right, he doesn't. He just put the work in to gain this level of flexibility. Why are you so pressed about people complimenting this guy?
alot of ankle rolls are due to lack of foot muscle development, and from wearing closed toe shows all the time where your toes no longer splay out, grew up playing basketball, learned and observed that, you might just have weak feet and not flexable
i was running for gym class and had to turn sharp and my foot basically went 90 degrees, i feel good about how that would have badly injured like anyone else
Being Indian, it's common to sit on floor in padmaasan and i now realise why I didn't feel difficult to do these stretches as my body has already been adapted to this kind of stretch since childhood.. 😂thanks to elders
I have very little ankle flexibility, I can barely do a proper squat. I was born with fucked up tendons and had two different surgeries on them. These stretches are really helping!
I used to stand on my ankles to stay still while wearing roller blades. Everyone was always freaked out, but it never hurt. I still do it in shoes every once in a while. Now it makes sense that I don't get hurt when I roll an ankle.
@@ISawSomethingOnTheInternet I don't really do a lot that would cause me to roll an ankle anymore. (I'm not 15 anymore. 😅) So less frequent, but only because of less frequent activity.
I have EDS, which affects your connective tissue. I was in my 30’s when a physiotherapist told me to never stretch, only strengthen. It’s made a huge difference- I can happily stand on the side of my feet.
In the early 2000s I started secondary school and it was a given that girls wore block high heels... We all used to stand in line rolling our ankle so our feet where on the outside edge all the time and constantly got told we were damaging our ankles..... 20 years later it's considered a stretch 😅
As someone who is suspected of EDS and has hyper mobility because of bad genetics this is so fascinating to me. Because my hyper mobility is due to a connective tissue disorder it causes a lot more issues than benefits but I still love seeing how these movements are not only seen as difficult/strange to other people but people actually seem to benefit from them and actually work towards them. Also, on the whole ankle rolling thing, so far I know many people with EDS who have survived insane falls and trips without damaging any joints because of the hyper mobility. The only difference seems to be that our mobility is what causes the really bad falls and trips. I know this is a bit of a tangent but I just wanted to express how much I enjoy these videos and how fascinating it is to see a normal person work to be able to do what we were cursed to do unwillingly. Also, I'm writing none of this with a negative or angry mindset, I genuinely just find it cool.
I have the same issue. And even mirco torn one of the ligament in the ankle. I have known that I needed to strengthen my joints but it was more of a question of how. Since this level hyper flexibly I have is not something easily treated because nobody can tell me the how to strengthen the joints I need.
@@NotARussianBot999 I appreciate you trying to reality check me but I'm actually doing pretty good now with little to no pain and strengthening my ankles back to where they were. Even back to weightlifting now.
i used to purposely roll my ankles as like a mini exercise all the time to stim. i would always get told off tho so j wasn’t allowed to do it anymore. now my ankles are wack. i should do that again
@@drendraleigh4722 because purposefully rolling your ankle would hurt you, so people would stop you from doing it. The phrase "we live in a society" comes to mind.
OMG I'm not the only one? 😭 I never got told to stop tho. I kinda just did on my own but now it's hard for me to walk with my feet flat since I got used to walking on the sides of my feet from rolling my ankles so much.
@@drendraleigh4722because we generally don't understand the human body. We've seen people with broken ankles and it does remind me of that.. so if I didn't know any better I'd definitely say stop that, it's bad for you.
@@stevenxoyatla1432 @Steven Xoyatla Yes, we stand on our toes in pointe shoes - usually our weight is redustributed to balance completely on the single platform of a shoe. And that weight is ofren in a single line from the toe, up to the hip. A lot of the strength of pointe shoes comes from how they fit around the base of the toes. Once they get too soft here, they begin to sag and become too soft to hold you properly.
@@GotFaculty If you don't practice pointe properly - yes! But pointe shoes and pointe products these days are designed to hold you up so you can dance en pointe safely. A lot of dancers these days don't get more than bruises and blisters and the occasional fallen off nail. I am not a professional dancer, I started ballet when I was 30, and then started pointe 4.5 years after that. If you don't pad your feet properly you get bruising and pressure sores. I've certainly had a few toenails fall off. But pointe has changed over the years - gone are the permanently damaged feet and even some of the body stereotypes are changing. If you want more info on pointe shoes I highly recommend The Pointe Shop :)
I actually am no longer trusted by my parents to take long walks because I’ve rolled my ankles 6 times over the years. This will help. Thank you very much!!
i got into mobility training just by accident in the gym and one day i tripped off a curb and landed in a position that usually would have absolutely obliterated my ankle and that made me realise damn i can’t actually remember last time i rolled my ankle. very good feeling definitely took my new ankle strength for granted
I used to have this kind of ankle flexibility. I'm a badminton player and last year got a third degree sprain that never fully healed- resprained my ankle 3 times since and rolled it another 2. Physical therapy never really helped me regain confidence in my range of motion, and I was terrified to even try to put weight on it for an inversion. This video has been so helpful for regaining that mobility and strength.
I did both too! But I live in a liberal shit hole and those ass holes refused to see me without a mask....so I stayed home and dealt with them myself. Took a couple years to heal 😢😭

This is amazing. I rolled one my ankles really badly by jumping onto it wrong (it swelled to the size of a grapefruit) and I wasn't able to stay off of it because of work. So I'm very glad to have found this!
Everytime you have the weights or a shopping bag in your hand, just do random wrist exercises. And you don't even need weights. You can create resistance by just moving your hand. Just pretend you have weights in your hand & do all the motions. As long as you keep your wrist warmed up, even with a minimal resistance, you will start developing all the tissues & muscles. Just extra blood circulation will help with healing & development. * Btw, don't worry what type of motions you do. More you do it, better you would understand your body/wrist, & probably will come up with the best techniques & moves.
I did gymnastics as a kid and used to do that with my ankles/feet CONSTANTLY, I can even stand with both feet facing each other so they're on a perfect 90° angle. So yeah, I never rolled my ankles or hurt them, which came in handy when I started wearing heels.
Keep on making the world a better place brother, absolutely the most noble thing you could do with your time and thats some real man shit. I appreciate your work 🙏
another way to avoid rolled ankles without stretching, is to just go along with the fall. Lean into it. Don't fight it. If you lean into the roll, your ankle will never actually reach that point of no return. Fighting the roll causes the muscles to tense up, and if your leg is tensed up, it's just going to make your day so much worse in the end. Leaning into the roll keeps your muscles relaxed enough that the stretching becomes nothing more than a mild inconvenience for a few seconds. If you learn to go with the flow, AND do the stretching, I can promise that you will never ever roll your ankle ever again.
@@OmarQ same here man, sprained my ankles sooo often until i started training them but now they are strong asf and it basically does not happen at all anymore (knock on wood)
@@Jaywrites23 fully recovered, except the ankle now aches in cold weather etc lol. so the actual physical problem has been taken care of, but the chronic pain persists 😅
This just gave me an actual flashback, holy shit. The last time I saw my ankle go that far I heard the nastiest CRACK of my life and next thing I knew I was face-first in the dirt trying not to vomit. I need these exercises in my life, Stat.
Last time I rolled my ankle was middle school in the middle of PE. 😅 It hurt so damn bad and was such a hard fall I thought I broke it. I had to hop on one foot all the way to the nurses office because no one helped me and all the nurse gave me was a bag of ice (figures) was also unlucky too because that was like the last 10 minutes of school so I had to hop all the way to the buses on one leg and ended up missing it.
Same. I fractured my ankle a few months ago and it’s basically healed but I lack a lot of range of motion and athleticism in my right ankle now. There’s a noticeable difference of athleticism if I jump off my left foot as opposed to my right. Need to start doing these so I don’t screw up my ankle again
@@armoule8596if you're referring to the sides of your ankle, those are absolutely not muscle but are in fact bone. If you landed on them and rolled your ankle from any sort of height I would recommend coming into hospital and getting it checked out. You can fracture the bones within the ankle joint
Subscriber earned, I never subscribe to a shorts channel unless every single short is of use. You're shorts are the best and will remain the only shorts in my subscription feed.
I found your channel yesterday looking for shoulder mobility. Then this shows up. I'm always rolling my ankles and my wife gives me crap for it every time. Game changer.
I learned about this with my son having his cast removed. Basically out of thinking about how restricted his ankle was in the cast I knew he would have a low tolerance for rolling an ankle. Good vid yo
This video is so scares the hell out of me but thats the first exercise im going to incorporate because i just discovered you and youre so damn cool, thank you.
I've always had very wobbly ankles (broken many a bone by falling because of them), and my therapist told me it can be a side effect of trauma, which is wild to me. I've learned trauma truly lives in your body, and my weak wobbly ankles might very well be a symptom of my PTSD. I'm going to start doing your suggested stretches and strength exercises to help my body heal, and I'm really excited about it. Thank you for being so positive and encouraging! (Edited for typo)
No man I've heard a thousand stories of doctors saying it's caused by trauma and then we figure out the real issue so much later than we should have. It's probably caused by physical weakness. Try to locate and isolate the exact muscles and tendons in your ankle that are weak or tight. Try to stretch them in directions a little past uncomfortably but not into pain. Try to resistance train various types of movements with light dumbbells (like 2lb or something, maybe 1, ankles aren't strong). That trains both muscle strength, and stability control when you practice do each rep smoothly. While fear might be in your mind, no amount of controlling your mind can overcome physically weak and stiff muscles and tendons. Just make sure to not overwork them and make them inflamed, and def don't tear anything midworkout. If they're sore, let them rest (still do light stretches to help them heal, but do not stretch past comfortably this time). If you have a job that requires standing or walking, only train on Friday before the weekend, etc. I hope this helps, someone close to me had very wobbly wrist and some PTSD too. PTSD might've caused it at first but having wobbly and unstable wrist for so many years also caused the muscles to be weak, her coordination to be weak, and some muscles to be tight. All three solved by training like a champ! And the confidence from the strength and stability helps so much with feeling psychologically healthy. Obv I can't explain the movements over text but you can Google ankle stretching and strengthening exercises it'll do wonders 🙏 Good wishes!
Maybe you have hypermobile joints. I have wobbly ankles as well and it is cause of that. You have to strengthen the muscles around the joint to get stability from. Also you might need support soles (orthotic insoles, fitted to your feet).
I have been doing this for years! When I wear tall or uncomfortable heels I stand on the sides of my feet when I get a chance to stand still. I have found a lot of other people so it too 😂
Omg all the stuff I do when I`m bored either sitting or standing around actually had a purpose XD This explains why I constantly stumble and roll my ankle but never hurt myself
Thank you! I rolled my ankle maybe 7 months ago and it's still paining me to this day. I'm going to start stretching this out in hopes that it helps my recovery
I sometimes like to stand at my rolled foot/ankle(?), like you rolled it at the beginning of the video. I don't know how to explain it. PS: I never stretched it intentional
I'm autistic and have been standing and walking on the outer sides of my feet SO MUCH! and because I have hypermobility, I've accidentally "overrolled" my ankles a lot, so this will hopefully give them some support! Thank you for your content, it's been teaching me a lot about my body and how to help it.
Just severely sprained my ankle and am out of work for a least a month, thank you for these tips & for ur channel! Definitely gonna get flexy during my healing process
fr tho, at one point when i was little i sprained both my ankles. The first time was falling down the stairs, then i kept rolling that same ankle, then b/c i kept rolling that ankle, i rolled the other on a flat surface and had two sprains
I grew up running around in a forest and being neglected a lot by my parents and well I've never had ankle problem and can roll them in and so on no problem.
Me realizing I used to get bored easily standing in line during school. So now here I am flexible ankles. I think the worst I got was a sprain. I was on the dance floor and I tripped and someone wasn’t pay attention and stepped right on my ankle 😂😂😭
I don’t know what it is, the subject matter or the video style or your voice or just your energy, but I really like your videos man! 👏 thanks for the content!
OMG, I had no idea such workout exists! I used to walk on rolled ankles bare feet as a kid when the bottom of my feet were sore... That explains why they are so flexible, I still roll them like that everyday when I sit or chill. So basically I am working out my ankles on daily without even knowing. Sick!
I fell off a fence and landed on my foot just like that on Monday. Still recovering from the sprain as of tonight, Wednesday. Damn, algorithm, you scary.
Woah! That's crazy! Both my gf a me are very prone to those injuries. Will definitely try these! We'll be really grateful, as you'd save us lots of suffering 😢
I sincerely thank you for this. Rolled my ankles a total of 6 times of various sprains from highschool to college and they havent been the same since. I used to dance and have great flexibility and strength but when i stopped they tensed and stiffened hence the sprains.
As a amateur dancer this is gonna be a life changer

Also I dont know what shoes youre wearing or if you can choose, but shoes with no elevation under the heels are way safer in regards to ancle rolling

@@armoule8596if you're referring to the sides of your ankle, those are absolutely not muscle but are in fact bone. If you landed on them and rolled your ankle from any sort of height I would recommend coming into hospital and getting it checked out. You can fracture the bones within the ankle joint

I found your channel yesterday looking for shoulder mobility. Then this shows up. I'm always rolling my ankles and my wife gives me crap for it every time. Game changer.

I- Okay🦶🧲👯♀️🔥😳
💀😭😭😭😭💀
I learned about this with my son having his cast removed. Basically out of thinking about how restricted his ankle was in the cast I knew he would have a low tolerance for rolling an ankle. Good vid yo
I love stumbling onto helpful videos like this. I roll my ankles constantly on my neighborhood's uneven sidewalks. Thanks!
I'm a fast bowler in cricket and this is helping me a lot now… I love it❤
As an ex ballet dancer, my muscle memory is ingrained and I constantly make them work 🩰
This video is so scares the hell out of me but thats the first exercise im going to incorporate because i just discovered you and youre so damn cool, thank you.
AM 36 AND AFTER WATCHING YOU NEVER HAD STRONGER ANKLES MY BROTHER THANKS 💪🏼

I've always had very wobbly ankles (broken many a bone by falling because of them), and my therapist told me it can be a side effect of trauma, which is wild to me. I've learned trauma truly lives in your body, and my weak wobbly ankles might very well be a symptom of my PTSD. I'm going to start doing your suggested stretches and strength exercises to help my body heal, and I'm really excited about it. Thank you for being so positive and encouraging! (Edited for typo)
No man I've heard a thousand stories of doctors saying it's caused by trauma and then we figure out the real issue so much later than we should have. It's probably caused by physical weakness.
Try to locate and isolate the exact muscles and tendons in your ankle that are weak or tight. Try to stretch them in directions a little past uncomfortably but not into pain. Try to resistance train various types of movements with light dumbbells (like 2lb or something, maybe 1, ankles aren't strong).
That trains both muscle strength, and stability control when you practice do each rep smoothly.
While fear might be in your mind, no amount of controlling your mind can overcome physically weak and stiff muscles and tendons.
Just make sure to not overwork them and make them inflamed, and def don't tear anything midworkout. If they're sore, let them rest (still do light stretches to help them heal, but do not stretch past comfortably this time). If you have a job that requires standing or walking, only train on Friday before the weekend, etc.
I hope this helps, someone close to me had very wobbly wrist and some PTSD too. PTSD might've caused it at first but having wobbly and unstable wrist for so many years also caused the muscles to be weak, her coordination to be weak, and some muscles to be tight. All three solved by training like a champ! And the confidence from the strength and stability helps so much with feeling psychologically healthy.
Obv I can't explain the movements over text but you can Google ankle stretching and strengthening exercises it'll do wonders 🙏
Good wishes!
Maybe you have hypermobile joints. I have wobbly ankles as well and it is cause of that. You have to strengthen the muscles around the joint to get stability from. Also you might need support soles (orthotic insoles, fitted to your feet).
As an MMA enjoyer who practices for fun (with a history of ankle sprains), this is gonna change my life forever.
These are the exercises I need to get into doing more as an athlete
I have been doing this for years! When I wear tall or uncomfortable heels I stand on the sides of my feet when I get a chance to stand still. I have found a lot of other people so it too 😂
Lol me when I’m bored at parties hahaa. I legit would do it without realizing it some of the time.
Appreciate the videos Gumby trying to stretch myself into motion. Wish me luck
Omg all the stuff I do when I`m bored either sitting or standing around actually had a purpose XD This explains why I constantly stumble and roll my ankle but never hurt myself
Same
Yeah I used to do this so much
Thank you! I rolled my ankle maybe 7 months ago and it's still paining me to this day. I'm going to start stretching this out in hopes that it helps my recovery
Has it?
@@dylpickle6123 Not yet, but I'm still working on it. I went to the cable park for 2 hours yesterday and only hurt it once
I’ve had chronic foot pain and constant injuries to the point where my foot always hurts, I think this will help
could you do some streches for forearm tendinitis? i've veen struggleing with it for months now:(
Yes please!! I hurt mine from bowling wrong a few months ago and I'm still not 100
I sometimes like to stand at my rolled foot/ankle(?), like you rolled it at the beginning of the video. I don't know how to explain it.
PS: I never stretched it intentional
🧢
I do that too and my ex boyfriend said i was weird
@@user-fy9xl9eu8c not cap, i like to do that too
Same. It's just comfy. Specially if I've been standing all day and my heels are starting to ache.
@@user-fy9xl9eu8c I can do it aswell I have a decent advantage seeing I’m hyper flexible and mobile
I'm autistic and have been standing and walking on the outer sides of my feet SO MUCH! and because I have hypermobility, I've accidentally "overrolled" my ankles a lot, so this will hopefully give them some support! Thank you for your content, it's been teaching me a lot about my body and how to help it.
You are an awesome person!! God bless your work❤❤❤
Me who stands on the sides of my feet, I’ve been training for this my whole life
Did not think about that, I do to !
Never hurt my ankles when they rolled
For real though, people born with high arches have been doing this forever.
As someone that has a chronic pain condition that turns my body into a literal hazard to itself, I appreciate this
My guy if I found you six years ago I could've saved myself a very painful injury and three hospital visits. Love your content so much
You scared the s*** out of me 😂 You are such unbreakable guy
The bodybuilder we didn't know we needed!
Body bender*
Damn I would have really needed this 2½ years ago.
Same, about 4 years ago.
Now THIS I really need. Thanks.
You are actually great 🤌 Stay Flexy!
As someone who did cross country from 7th grade till Senior year this would have been so useful at the start
I did not know I needed this untill I saw it. Finally UA-cam algorithm has given me something good.
Just severely sprained my ankle and am out of work for a least a month, thank you for these tips & for ur channel! Definitely gonna get flexy during my healing process
Solid advice! Small changes can make a great difference
Me who's genuinely broken my ankle walking on a flat surface: "What sorcery is this????"
fr tho, at one point when i was little i sprained both my ankles. The first time was falling down the stairs, then i kept rolling that same ankle, then b/c i kept rolling that ankle, i rolled the other on a flat surface and had two sprains
I grew up running around in a forest and being neglected a lot by my parents and well I've never had ankle problem and can roll them in and so on no problem.
Me realizing I used to get bored easily standing in line during school. So now here I am flexible ankles. I think the worst I got was a sprain. I was on the dance floor and I tripped and someone wasn’t pay attention and stepped right on my ankle 😂😂😭
Thank you for this it’s exactly what I needed!
Oh I always do that, didn't know that's why I don't feel pain from rolling my ankles constantly. Thanks
I don’t know what it is, the subject matter or the video style or your voice or just your energy, but I really like your videos man! 👏 thanks for the content!
Lol, I saw this right after I sprained my ankle. Better late then never tho🤣
OMG, I had no idea such workout exists! I used to walk on rolled ankles bare feet as a kid when the bottom of my feet were sore... That explains why they are so flexible, I still roll them like that everyday when I sit or chill. So basically I am working out my ankles on daily without even knowing. Sick!
Would really appreciate if you'd make full length videos
I fell off a fence and landed on my foot just like that on Monday. Still recovering from the sprain as of tonight, Wednesday. Damn, algorithm, you scary.
Your stay Flexi this time actually gave me heebeejeebees
This is what I call a really unique and helpful content.
Imagine having this guy as a friend
I can't even get my ankles to roll, lol. I need to work on my flexibility.
Someone send this video to Jimmy Butler.
Hey! I'm heading a peroneal injury. This is so helpful. Thank you!! ❤
Woah! That's crazy! Both my gf a me are very prone to those injuries. Will definitely try these! We'll be really grateful, as you'd save us lots of suffering 😢
I sincerely thank you for this. Rolled my ankles a total of 6 times of various sprains from highschool to college and they havent been the same since. I used to dance and have great flexibility and strength but when i stopped they tensed and stiffened hence the sprains.
Rolled my ankle many times but never got hurt, guess i'm just built different
Thanks a million for this clip!
