How Does H.E.M. Compare with other Ankle Rehab Programs?

We get a lot of questions regarding H.E.M. versus other rehab programs.  First of all, we have to make a distinction between at home rehab programs and PT (Physical Therapist) specialists.  For the purposes of this article, we are going to focus on at home rehab programs, since that is the purpose of H.E.M.

If you have the time and the money, going to see a PT specialist is a great option.  If they really know what they are doing, they will be able to watch how you walk, run, stand, etc... to see exactly which muscles are tight or weak.  They will be able to manually make changes on your feet, ankles and calves as well as design a unique program just for you.  The downside of this is that they are expensive and it is time consuming.

Scott Malin developed H.E.M., because the reality is that most people do not have the time or money for a PT specialist and need a rehab program they can follow at home that will give them great results.  And there is nothing out there that comes close to comparing with the advanced techniques Scott has developed and implemented in this ankle treatment system.

Truthfully, it is hard to compare H.E.M. to any other ankle rehab program, because there aren't any that do what H.E.M. can do for you.  For example, H.E.M. is much more than a few exercises and stretches. It is a complete rehab system that incorporates the most effective healing techniques used for injuries that can be applied to the ankle.  And when it comes to the exercise and stretching system, it incorporates special techniques that are not seen in any other ankle rehab system.

For example, stretching alone does not increase muscle flexibility and range of motion.  There are special techniques necessary to get out knots, scar tissue and adhesions that block your ability to have a healthy range of motion.  The complete H.E.M. Sprained Ankle Rehab System will show you exactly how to easily and quickly remove these barriers to healing so you get the most out of every stretch and exercise.

And speaking of exercises, H.E.M. is the only system that incorporates not only a complete rehab exercise program, but also a complete prehab exercise program too!  That's really important, because once your ankle is healed, you will want to keep doing a few exercises that will really ramp up the strength in your ankles and protect them from future sprains!

The last fundamental difference between H.E.M. and the other programs out there is the fact that H.E.M. does not require or promote the use of equipment or ankle braces.  It is our belief that ankle braces, wraps, tape, etc... actually weaken your ankles and put you at risk for knee, hip and back injuries.  For example, it has been convincingly shown that an ankle brace can increase the risk of an ACL tear in the knee.  It is so much better to simply have strong, flexible ankles that increase your speed and agility and decrease your risk of injury.  And that is exactly what the H.E.M. Sprained Ankle system will do for you.

One last note- we created H.E.M. to be easy to follow and understand and quick to do.  We want you to heal a sprained ankle quickly and then be at a lower risk in the future.  That is our whole goal and we have a 100% money back guarantee to back it up.  We wish you the best of luck on healing your sprained ankle and hope you will download H.E.M. now so you can start getting out of pain today.  Own your copy of the H.E.M.

Sprained Ankle Q & A #2 with Creator of H.E.M.

Question: Does H.E.M. Ankle Rehab work for people with all types of sprains, including high sprained ankles?

Answer: Yes, it does.  That's a very common question I get.  H.E.M. is not specific to the most common lateral sprained ankle.  It is a comprehensive healing system that focuses on the entire ankle, calf and foot.  So, it does not matter if you have a high ankle sprain or a typical one, H.E.M. is going to really help you get out of pain fast.

Question: What about the grade of sprained ankle?  Does that matter?

Answer: As you know, there are 3 grades of a sprained ankle.  #1 being the most mild and #3 being the most severe.  With a grade 1 sprain, there is usually some tearing, swelling and pain, but people can usually walk on it right afterward.  healing time with rest and ice is usually about 2-3 weeks.  Grade 2 sprains are more serious and a grade 3 sprain means a total rupture and is pretty serious.  if you are just using something like R.I.C.E. (rest, ice Compression and Elevation), it can take 2-3 months or longer to heal.  

Question: You keep referring to rest and ice.

Answer: Well, that's what most people rely on to heal a sprained ankle.  And so, I'm giving you the average healing time using the most common method.

Question: What about your method?

Answer: Much shorter healing time and much better quality of healing.  If you are using H.E.M., for a grade 1 sprain, you will probably be out of pain within 3-4 days.  With a grade 2 sprain, probably more like 5-7 days and with a grade 3 sprain, probably about 7-10 days.  But, remember the more serious the sprain, the more important it is to get it checked out by a doctor first and make sure there isn't a fracture.

Question: What if there is a fracture?

Answer: Then, you should hold off any any kind of rehab until you are ready.  Your doctor will let you know when you are ready.

Question: What if someone has been in a cast for 6-8 weeks... will H.E.M. still work?

Answer: Absolutely.  In fact, H.E.M. will be even more important for someone like that.  Once, you get the okay to begin some rehab on your ankle, you will have a lot of scar tissue build up and tremendous weakness and inflexibility.  You need to really get in there and rehab the ankle joint properly and that is what H.E.M. is all about.
