Скачать или смотреть Not a Massage｜Sports Lower-Leg & Ankle Treatment for Youth & Athletes｜Dr. Kim

This is not a traditional massage.

In this video, Dr. Kim, a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), explains a sports-focused
lower-leg and ankle treatment approach designed for youth and athletic populations.

Why this matters for youth and athletes:

1) Reducing lower-extremity injury risk
The calf and ankle serve as the first line of shock absorption during landing, jumping,
and rapid deceleration.
When tissue tension or neuromuscular control in this region is limited, compensation
often shifts upward to the knee, Achilles tendon, and plantar structures.

2) Improving stability during running, jumping, and change of direction
Sports such as basketball, fencing, and golf rely heavily on ankle stability.
Imbalanced calf tension or poor ankle control directly affects force efficiency,
movement accuracy, and overall stability.

3) Helping training translate into sport performance
Many young athletes develop strength through training, yet still experience tightness,
fatigue, or recurrent ankle sprains during play.
The issue is often not a lack of training, but insufficient foundational mobility and
neuromuscular control.

At FH5, a U.S.-trained DPT uses:
• Professional movement and joint assessment
• Targeted manual techniques for the calf and ankle
• A performance-oriented, non-generic approach

The goal is to restore proper tissue glide, elasticity, and control, allowing training
to return to a safe, effective, and sustainable path.
