Message: [QUOTE="Joe Diver, post: 926608, member: 60047"] In 1991 I fell off a cliff and landed on a roadway, breaking both ankles, removing skin from various places, and compressing back/neck. I do have permanent disability in my right ankle that I have to live with. When I was recovering, I spent almost 2 years in physical therapy working on that ankle. The thing that helped me the most was a device called the BAPS board. Don't remember what it stood for, but it was basically an oval shaped plastic board. There were different sized (small to large) half sphere thingies that screwed into the bottom of it. You'd start out with the smallest one, screw it into the bottom, then stand on the board, rotating the edges of it around in a circle. As the days/weeks/months go on, you gradually progress to bigger sized spheres, resulting in more and more ankle flexibility. You might ask your therapist about this device. [/QUOTE]
