Here’s a quick overview of how the ankle works… There are 3 bones: the tibia, fibula and talus. These bones are held together by ligaments, which are are tough elastic bands of connective tissue that help stabilize the joint. Think of ligaments like a rope with a series of tough, intertwined cords. Have a look at the main bones and ligaments below…

So, ligaments connect bone to bone… In contrast, tendons connect muscle to bone. Tendons are also really tough cords, but they have a little bit more flexibility, so they can move with the muscles and are particularly important for absorbing impact from movement. When the muscle moves, the tendon has to bring the bone along with it safely.

Since, ligaments connect bone to bone, they are important for stability. Tendons are also important for stability, but more so for flexibility. They help you get in and out of different ranges of motion safely. Have a look at the various tendons in the ankle below. It’s a bit technical, but it gives you an idea of the complexity of the tendons in the ankle and foot…

3 Steps To Heal Torn Ankle Tendons

Even though the tendons in the ankle and foot are very complex, the healing process is the same 3 step process as for any other injury…

Step one is called the inflammatory response. The injured area will go through a kind of quarantine and the area will swell and become immobile, while the body prepares to start the actual healing process. This step occurs almost instantly after the injury to protect it from further damage.

Step two is the repair. This is when the body sends in waves of powerful immune cells to help repair the damaged tendons. This step is particularly important in the first 24-48 hours after the injury.

Finally, step three is called the remodel. In this last step, the body attempts to remodel the tendons back to full strength. This requires rebuilding the tendons and ensuring they can function normally in all ranges of motion, without limitation.

Now, if any one of these steps is impaired or sabotaged in any way, then it can affect the entire healing process… Think of it like a domino effect. Each step follows in a common sense way and you do not want to disrupt any part of it. In fact, what you really want to do is support and encourage each step to function at its maximum capacity. That is how you will heal fully and quickly.

And that brings us to the #1 mistake people make when they get injured…. ICE. We have written a number of articles on the danger of using ice after an injury, but if you would like to learn more about it, please click here.

In short, ice attempts to stop the inflammation process and also sabotages steps two and three (the repair and remodel) by blocking the flow of immune cells to the injured area. Ice also has the negative effect of stopping lymphatic drainage, which sabotages your body’s attempt to remove the waste from the injury. While ice is somewhat effective as a short term pain reliever, we do not recommend it as a healing tool, unless medically advised to use it.

There’s another common mistake that people make… they avoid seeing a doctor. If it’s more than a simple sprain, you should always determine the extent of the injury. For example, if you have a fracture, the area has to be immobilized until it heals. But, if it’s not a fracture, you should begin a movement program as soon as possible, assuming your doctor gives you the green light. So, go get checked out and then you will know what to do next, instead of guessing.

The Power Of Ankle Rehab

A wide variety of research has consistently shown that a good rehab program is the best way to fully heal tendon injuries in the ankle. Here are the main steps to healing ankle tendons with an excellent rehab program…

  1. Support and encourage the healthy flow of blood, nutrients and immune cells to the injured area.
  2. Support and encourage the removal of waste and debris from the injured area.
  3. Safely and gently use flexibility training to improve range of motion.
  4. Safely and gently use stability exercises to improve tendon stability.
  5. Safely and gently use strength exercises to improve overall tendon and muscle strength in the ankle, foot and calf.

There are some very powerful and safe techniques that have been proven to significantly speed up and improve the overall quality the healing process. That is what a good, holistic ankle rehab program should be able to do for you. So, if you have tendons in the ankle that have been injured, please see a doctor and if possible, begin a good ankle rehab program as soon as possible.

If you want to heal your ankle fully & fast…

And get back to doing what you love PAIN-FREE, without the fear of re-injury

This will be the most important thing you ever do for yourself.

Here’s why:

My name is Scott Malin and fifteen years ago, I had to give up what I love… playing basketball. It literally crushed me to give it up!!

But, I had sprained my ankles so many times that I could no longer play.

Every time it happened, I used R.I.C.E. (rest, ice elevation, compression), but my ankles took months to heal and just kept getting weaker and more painful.

I tried everything, including ankle braces, but they made my ankles even weaker and then my knees started hurting too!

When I sprained my ankle one last time and had to crawl off the court, I knew I was done.

That night, I sat in my apartment and cried.

I was in my early thirties and thought I had to give up what I loved for the rest of my life.

But, I had no other option…

My ankles were just way too weak, stiff and unstable and painkillers/ice did nothing anymore.

As I lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, I remembered back to when I trained with a clinician for the National Academy of Sports Medicine and Soft Tissue Therapist for the Los Angeles Clippers.

I also thought about a revolutionary Naturopath that taught me so much about healing the body naturally.

Then, I came up with a crazy idea…

It instantly improved how my ankle felt.

And the more I did it, the better my ankle got.

By day 6, my ankle was 100% pain-free and felt stronger and more stable than BEFORE I got injured.

The best part… I PLAYED BASKETBALL AGAIN, BUT THERE WAS NO PAIN!!

Afterward, I cried again, but they were tears of joy!!

When I told them what I did, my basketball buddies laughed and said I was crazy.

They called me a “dreamer”.

But, I didn’t care.

Because I had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I threw my ankle braces away.

After months of late nights, early mornings, and lots of trial and error…

I created a complete, at-home healing system with incredibly reliable results:

  • Heals new ankle injuries including ANY type and grade of ankle sprain.
  • Heals old ankle injuries that never fully healed.
  • Heals weak and unstable ankles.
  • Even heals most Achilles, calf and foot injuries!

Since I was a fitness trainer, I was able to help all my clients (celebrities and athletes) whenever they got injured (which happened a lot!).

I was even on the news a few times!!!

The response from my clients was so overwhelming that a few of them eventually convinced me to make it available to everyone.

And even though it is incredibly complete, I always wanted to keep it SUPER simple and easy to do.

So, just follow along with me on any device and that’s it!

You get instant access to all the videos, which are short and focused on quickly giving you the information you need.

I will show you the absolute BEST rehab techniques, exercises, stretches, activations, holistic techniques, prehab techniques, etc….

These are techniques you will NOT find online anywhere else.

You will learn the perfect form for everything to get the best possible results.

It has taken many years of incredibly hard and dedicated work, but I am so humbled that over 100,000 people have healed themselves fully and fast with my program.

If you don’t believe me, please, check out all the reviews, including video testimonials, before and after pictures, etc. from people of all ages.

And listen, I know you’re probably still skeptical. That’s totally fair…

That’s why we have a very simple, no hassle, 30 day money back guarantee, so it’s completely risk-free to give it a try right now.

I created this program, because I don’t want others to go through all the pain and misery that I did!!

I don’t want anyone else to give up what they love…

Life is too short!!!

And now, there’s an easy way you can heal yourself and get back to your life.

I wish you all the best and thank you!!

Just got your videos for the holistic rehab the other day. It has already helped and I am so grateful as I know Drs want to cut you open and ask questions later. My left ankle is very badly sprained, completely black and purple and swollen half way up my calf. I am an athlete and have zero intentions of being cut on now or in the future! It was a major eversion off a curb and I just want it to get back to normal. Thanks so much for putting this HEM ankle rehab together, it's a godsend! Have a beautiful day.

very beneficial

Hello Mr. Malin,

I want to thank you for this website. In the end of november, I sprained my ankle and my doctor said that there is an avulsion fracture in my ankle(ATFL). I had really hard times after this incident. When I was looking for how to heal fast, I saw your website. I tried to do as much as different exercises that you showed. Now I face some difficulties during my daily life due to my foot but swelling is decreasing everyday thanks to exercises. Especially, the video about how to activate ankle is very beneficial for me.

Thanks for your support both mentally and physically.

Sincerely,
Orhun Oktar, Electrical and Electronics Engineer
