Do you suffer from arthritis in one or both or your ankles?
If you’ve ever had a problem with arthritis, specifically in the ankles then read on this is for you!
I wanted to jump on and explain why it’s so critical to start taking care of yourself and starting to prioritise the care of your ankle arthritis NOW.
So…
This is important because arthritis has long been considered “something that once you got it, you’ve got it.. There’s nothing to be done!”
While your arthritis will remain, there are certain strategies to create strength and in turn, less pain in your ankles or any area you’re suffering arthritis for that matter.
If you accept your arthritis for what it is, then you’ll likely experience more pain, have trouble with your ankles, and feel limited in the activities you can do on a day-to-day basis.
This is important because if you don’t know how to help yourself when it comes to arthritis and understand that you can change your outcome.. You’re left unsure, in pain, incredibly frustrated and in turn feel very limited in your bodies capabilities especially of your ankles.
I don’t want that for you and it’s a disservice if I don’t let you know there’s something to be done!
I want you to feel strong in your ankles, reduce the pain you feel, have the tools and the knowledge to feel confident in your ankles capabilities!
So here is what I want to share with you today:
