Katherine “Kat” Losso, a freshman volleyball player at Chelmsford High School, has been experiencing ankle pain while running and jumping. Our team has been working on improving her ankle mobility and calf strength while incorporating dynamic balance training and some fun competition.
In this exercise, Kat uses a Bosu ball to create an unstable surface that challenges her ankle stabilizers. Performing the activity without shoes further engages her muscles, while Blaze Pods add a reaction-time component for athletic performance.
Ankle pain is common in athletes, especially growing adolescents. Stretching, strengthening and stability exercises can help decrease pain and reduce the risk of injury.
