How To Improve Balance After An Ankle Injury In 5 Easy Steps
If you've ever had an ankle injury that kept you out of cheer, you know how frustrating it can be. When you were ready to get back in you probably felt like your balance was off and it was challenging to get it back.
Ankle injuries are common in cheer. From traumatic ankle sprains or broken bones, to growth injuries like Sever's Disease or tendonitis and stress fractures. All of these will sideline a cheerleader and can take a long time to rehab.

Did you know that the biggest risk of a 2nd injury is a prior injury? I can't tell you how many people I've seen who have had multiple ankle sprains.
And with the amount of jumping and tumbling cheerleaders do, calf muscles get super tight, but stretching isn't always the answer.
For instance, did you know that Sever's Disease, which creates irritation at the back of the heel after overuse, is commonly recommended a stretching routine, but usually requires core and hip stability?

Testimonial
Laura looks beyond the point of injury and assesses the total body and the whole way we move. I saw her for a hip injury and she got me paying more attention to my feet, my hamstrings, and quads. Very key! Sometimes simple movements conquer complex injuries. Laura takes the time to get to know the whole person. I highly recommend her! Karen
