Today I bring you another tasty rehab tidbit from Kelly Starrett. Just like any topic, in rehab there are big concepts and tiny details. This video covers a very useful, tiny detail. In cases of ankle range of motion restriction, the culprit is not always tight calves! Although its probably the most common cause of insufficient ankle dorsiflexion, calf muscle shortness is not the only possibility. As this video so clearly demonstrates, sometimes tissues can become glued together. The skin and underlying tissues are supposed to be able to move independently. However, chronic low grade inflammation results in the creation of the much feared scar tissue. Here is a technique you can use to reestablish proper movement between sliding surfaces. This can dramatically improve your squat or solve that stubborn plantar facsitis youve been struggling with. Enjoy!!! youtu.be/lKewdExgRh4
