The FlexBand® Ankle Strengthening Traction (F.A.S.T.) Technique designed to reduce pain and swelling, and to speed recovery time. You will never deal with a sprained ankle the same way again. Includes instructional CD.
A large percentage of “minor” (Grade I and Grade II) ankle sprains are treated in a manner that incapacitates the person for several weeks. When an ankle is sprained, some ligaments have been over-stretched and are possibly misaligned. When you ice an ankle at this stage, blood flow is stopped and ligaments are essentially frozen out of place. Combine that with rest and now you’ve got muscle atrophy and a host of other problems.
Ice should never be applied to an injured ankle, because it stops the healing process. What the injured ankle needs is movement, as quickly as possible after the injury, in order to restore proper range of motion be realigning the ligaments.
All told, we have treated a combined total of more than 3000 ankles, many sessions of which have been videotaped. Some of these were treated immediately, even returning to the same game they were injured in. Others came to us after many wasted months of “traditional” care and countless hours of pain and discomfort, only to find that we were able to relieve their pain and get them back to normal almost immediately. For the record, athletes tend to get better results than others, presumably because they are pre-trained and motivated to return to action.
Orthopedists estimate that there are 27,000 inversion sprains in America every day. Unfortunately, most of them will be treated with the outdated method call R.I.C.E., which slows the healing process and sets the people up for future injuries to the same joint.
