- The next 2-4 weeks you still want to do your best to minimize excessive stress on the lateral aspect of your ankle
- This is especially the case of you are currently competing regularly in athletics
- I am going to give you a new circuit to alternate with the one we previously established
- make sure you avoid circuit 2 prior to competition or practice as I do not want you to fatgiue prior to competition
- Otherwise do circuit 1 one day and circuit 2 the nest day sticking with the reps listed below each exercise
- If you are feeling good, you may do a second set of each circuit, doing half as many reps the second time through
- Much of the new sequence with continue to focus on hip strength and trunk control which is typically a likely contributing to putting excessive pressure on the lateral aspect of the foot
- If any of these movements reproduce discomfort in the lateral foot, stop well short of the pain or hold off on that movement and email me so we can adjust as needed
