A sprained ankle, if not healed properly, can and very often does lead to more injuries. Most people think a sprained ankle is a minor thing, unless they are sidelined for months. Obviously, it is not as serious as a torn ACL in the knee or other more serious injuries. But, what most people do not understand is that a sprained ankle is serious, because it can lead to an ACL tear or a hamstring tear or a quad tear and very often does…
So the first question is why? Well, when you sprain your ankle, it completely changes how you walk, run and move in all directions. If you don’t heal that ankle fully and properly, you are going to move differently and that will put more load and pressure on other areas of the body to pick up the slack.
Think about this… you hurt your ankle and it never fully recovers. You wear a brace or just play sports with a more inhibited ankle that cannot move as well, is not very stable and weak. Well, when you try to move in the same way before the injury, you simply cannot get it done with that ankle, so other muscles are asked to do more and many times, they are not capable of more, so they tear.
I have written a lot of articles on how a sprained ankle increases knee injury risk. Anyone who likes basketball saw what happened to Derrick Rose years ago… he sprained his ankle and then continued playing and then tore up his knee which kept him out for an entire season. I was looking today at other injuries and I saw that Roddy White of the Atlanta Flacons was nursing a sprained ankle and played anyway and guess what? He injured his hamstring which will sideline him for much longer than if he just took a week or two to heal properly. It is very, very common.
So, I strongly urge you to recover fully form a sprained ankle before you get back to sports. Take the time to get your range of motion, balance and strength back to full capacity so you can perform at your best AND minimize your risk of not only another sprain, but other, more serious injuries in the body. Yes, it takes a little more time and work in the short run, but it can save your athletic career in the long run.
I cannot tell you how many times I have received emails from people asking me how they can get back into their games quicker. Yes, HEM Ankle Rehab was designed to heal your ankle much faster and it does, but that should NOT be the sole focus. The sole focus should be to heal your body and give it the time it needs to get back to 100%. If it takes a week, great. But, if it takes a little longer, please don’t rush it! Let your body heal. And that goes for the professional athlete all the way down to the 5 year old kids. Stop rushing your body back, because it is NOT ready and a more serious injury is just waiting to happen.
But, if handled properly, the body can come back stronger than before. You can rebuild your body and give some other areas some much needed rest. That is what proper rehab is all about. Letting your body heal, so when you go back to sports, you can perform at an even higher level and reduce the risk of another injury.

Once I started HEM, the swelling and bruising subsided significantly and on the 4th day, I was walking comfortably again. I was shocked!

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.
Warm regards,
Faith Washington BSPharm, RPh, CSCS, CPT
Hey there,
I literally purchased this program about 20 minutes ago, and now having gotten partially through the videos... The content is already blowing my mind and I feel like this will be information I'll carry with me the rest of my life... Thank you for this info! Clearly you are a master of PT.
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
Your program is great. I actually broke one ankle and sprained the other. I just got the cast off and will begin rehab on that ankle now.
I bought your Hem Ankle program in 2018 and used it very successfully with THREE ankle injuries. I am also interested to buy the programme for knees etc.
