Hi, I have terrible ankle mobility. I walked on my toes as a kid so all my muscles are short and I have broken both ankles. I would really like to just be able to do a normal squat. My foot and shin barely can get to 90 deg without me putting considerable force into my foot. One ankle is worse than the other and feels like I have some ankle impingement when I really try to push my knee over my foot. And since all my leg muscles, calves, hips, and hammies especially, are tight, I think all areas of my legs need help. When squats are programmed in my WO, I either have to put my heels up on plates or wear lifters with about a 1" heel.
I'm looking for some ankle/squat mobility protocol. I currently have all the leg related mobility restore classes programmed 4x/wk. Should I do these more frequently? Is there anything else I should add? What would be an ideal plan for increasing ankle flexion? I also have Foundation Lower body, but I'm thinking I don't have the mobility to do that. I'm just going to get stuck at parallel squats step 1 since I doubt bobbing up and down 4" is going to increase my ROM. Thoughts?
