I received a distress call last week:
A friend’s turned right ankle was not healing. Her doctor recommended a month in a foot brace that was now making her hip hurt!
My Mission: Figure out why the ankle was not getting Better
The First Rule of Joint Pain is not to question the joint but ask, “Who is letting the joint down??” The Usual Suspect in such matters is the Pelvis-Core Complex.
It is always awkward checking out a friend's posture – Especially when she happens to be your Best Friend’s wife! – But I did what I had to do….
A clue appeared!
My girl had a major league tilted pelvis on her right side, the same side as the sore ankle. (We cover “tilted pelvises” exhaustively in Ranks Trainer Training)
Basically, our core is a column of fluid contained from the bottom by the pelvis (pelvis is Latin for “basin”). The core acts as giant spring every step we take.
When the pelvis is too tilted, the shifted core essentially becomes disconnected, letting down the rest of the joints.
My friend’s ankle was really fine – the problem was lack of shock absorption from a disconnected core. Her ankle is now better because the right problem was treated.
Do you Have Chronic Ankle Problems? Likely it is related to a Disconnected Core.
A Quick Self-Test is to wear a belt and study your side view in the mirror. If the front of the belt rests LOWER than the back of the belt, your pelvis is tilting.
The culprit of this Ankle Case was The Core.
Now tuck in your shirt and go check for a Core Disconnect in the Mirror – it’s a cinch!
