⚽️ Advice
Lets face it, athletes want to play sports. Athletes are not only physically affected, but mentally as well when they’re not able to play due to an injury.
Athletes don’t enjoy rehab and can easily lose interest in basic exercises. It is a challenge, however it is our duty as physical therapists to get buy-in during the early stages of rehab. So maybe you’re asking how do we do this with our athletes⁉️ Watch the video 🎥
Here is something I do with soccer players DAY 1️⃣ if they can bear weight and it is safe to do so after an ankle sprain. If you want to work active range of motion into dorsiflexion and plantar flexion and resistance doesn’t matter, why not use a ⚽️ vs. a theraband❓
