Wellness Wednesday 🦶⚖️

Ankle ligaments are essential for stability during walking, running, and quick changes in direction. After a sprain or ankle injury, balance and proprioception (your body’s awareness of joint position) are often disrupted, increasing the risk of reinjury. Targeted rehabilitation that retrains these systems helps restore stability, improve confidence, and keep you moving safely and efficiently.

Working on ankle stability and balance? Tandem stance is a simple but effective place to start.

While balancing on the edge of a rock by the ocean looks cool… 🌊 it’s definitely not where to begin. Instead, practice this safely at home by standing near a wall or kitchen counter so you have something to grab if needed.

Place one foot directly in front of the other like you’re standing on a balance beam. Hold for 30 seconds, then switch sides. Stay tall, move slowly, and always prioritize safety.

Your ankle may seem small, but it’s packed with ligaments that keep your foot stable when you walk, run, or jump. Here’s the basics:

1️⃣ Lateral (outside) ligaments:

Anterior Talofibular Ligament (ATFL): Prevents your foot from sliding forward.

Calcaneofibular Ligament (CFL): Helps stabilize the ankle when you roll it outward.

Posterior Talofibular Ligament (PTFL): Keeps your ankle stable at the back.

2️⃣ Medial (inside) ligament – Deltoid Ligament:

Strong, fan-shaped ligament that prevents your ankle from rolling inward.

💡 Tip: Sprains happen when these ligaments are stretched or torn. Strengthening the muscles around your ankle and balancing exercises can help protect them!

Looking for a beautiful way to stay active? 🌊🌞

We encourage you to get outside and explore Woodward Point Reserve right here in Brunswick!

With approximately 2+ miles of scenic walking trails, it’s a perfect spot for a peaceful walk, light hike, or mindful movement day. And the water is absolutely stunning — uniquely blue and green, especially on a sunny day.

Getting outdoors isn’t just great for your body — it’s powerful for your mental health too.

If aches or pains are keeping you from enjoying places like this, Accel Physical Therapy is here to help you get back out there.

Wellness Wednesday 💪🦴

The shoulder relies heavily on its ligaments for stability, especially at the AC (acromioclavicular) joint and the glenohumeral (GH) joint. These ligaments help control motion, maintain proper joint alignment, and protect the shoulder during lifting, reaching, and athletic movements. When shoulder ligaments are strong and supported by surrounding muscles, they reduce injury risk and allow for smooth, powerful, pain-free motion.

Looking for a gentle shoulder stretch that won’t aggravate stiffness or pain?

Using a physio ball on a table for support, slowly reach one hand forward and allow your chest to drop down until you feel a light, comfortable stretch through the shoulder. A controlled, pain-free motion is key—this stretch should feel easy, not forced.

This is a great option for anyone dealing with limited shoulder mobility or stiffness, especially when guided by a physical therapist to ensure proper form and comfort.
