Weak Ankles
Weak ankles are a dancer’s nightmare! My right ankle is chronically weak and I seem to roll it every 6 months to a year. Of course, after seeing many doctors, I know exactly what to do when I roll my ankle:
- Ice
- Elevate
- Compress
- Maintain mobility (this is a new one, care of my wonderful chiro, Dr. Bryan – he suggests to roll a medium sized ball under your foot to keep up movement)
- Rest… and then begin strengthening
I’ve been a good girl and stayed off my foot for the last week and been doing all of the above. I’ve been living vicariously by listening to mad flamenco recordings (care of Gabriel Edgar, my flamenco DVDs and YouTube) and running old choreographies in my head. Dance class tonight will tell…
Any suggestions on how to better heal would be much appreciated!
i have no suggestions but a question:
i have been dancing flamenco for slightly over one year. i was wondering if there is anything that should be done to prevent injury of the ankles. the only answer i got so far is wrapping the ankles with bandages after the lessons. does that really help?
many thanks in advance
