Knee pain and ankle braces? Am I totally crazy? Well, what is the function of an ankle brace? Isn’t it to try and immobilize the ankle joint? Anyone who needs an ankle brace either has a recently sprained ankle or an old injury that has left their ankles weak and unstable. So, you throw on a stiff ankle brace to protect it, right? I’m not sure if you would ever have another reason.

Okay, so you take the ankle and you protect it with an ankle brace, right? You’re feeling pretty good, because the ankle is safe from another sprain. But, all of a sudden, you start feeling some pain in your knees. How did that happen? Are the two things related?  Uh, yeah. And it’s a pretty big deal, so let’s take a look at it…

Here it is in a nut shell.  Your ankle is what we call a mobile joint. It’s worth noting that you can do all kinds of things with the ankle joint… you can do big circles, move it in all different directions, explode off of it, etc… Now, try doing any of those things with your knee. Go ahead…

Impossible, right? That’s because your knees are NOT a mobile joint.

The way the body works is by alternating mobile and immobile joints as you move up the body. So, we start with the mobile ankle joints, then the immobile knee joints, then the mobile hip joint, then the immobile lower back (that’s why you should never stretch the lower back, by the way), etc… So, if you have read any of my other articles or watched any of my videos, you know what I am going to say next… do NOT mess with the body’s natural way of functioning. Doing that is almost always a bad idea. You should NOT force the body to move in an unnatural way. It almost always leads to pain and/or injury.

And that takes us back to the ankles and the knees. When you wear an ankle brace, you are forcing the body to do something it was NOT meant to do… you are switching the mobility of the joints. In other words, the ankle becomes immobile and the knees are forced to become more mobile.

That means the ankles cannot move because they are restricted by the brace and the knees have to stretch further then they are safely able to do. But, the knees cannot stretch more than a few degrees safely. So, an ankle brace exposes the knee to a very serious injury.

Consider the following statistic… Over seventy percent of ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) tears in the knee are NON-CONTACT injuries. In other words, no one touches you and the knee stretches too far and tears.  That’s over 70,000 ACL tears a year that are non-contact. One of the main reasons this happens is immobility and instability in the ankle joint.  And the reason for that is an ankle sprain that was never fully healed.

So, you see it all comes back to healing the ankles properly in the first place. If you heal that injury fully, there is no need for an ankle brace. In fact, your ankles will be strong and stable and have a healthy range of motion. That DECREASES your risk of a sprained ankle and avoids the need for an ankle brace. And by avoiding the ankle braces and keeping your ankles healthy, you DECREASE the risk of knee pain or worse, a tear in one of the key ligaments in the knee.

So, I strongly recommend that you take the time to heal up an ankle sprain the right way. Don’t just sit around and rest and ice and wait for your ankle to try and heal itself. Do the active, safe, and gentle rehab necessary to heal that ankle up and then you will find yourself much, much better off.  You can use HEM Ankle Rehab or go see a good Physical Therapist, but please take care of that ankle so you don’t have more serious issues down the line.

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
