Glad you found the video useful. I can’t comment on personal circumstances and would always recommend taking advice from a professional following an assessment. If a patient presented to me wishing to play golf, they would be at least building up their walking with minimal to no pain after exercise /no mobility aids/performing full range single calf raises. Golf, especially 18 holes can be a good four hours of walking, so I may get patients putting/using a buggy/doing 9 holes first. It will be different for everyone and the reactions to exercise will be the patient’s and therapist guide to progression.

@@sportrehabguide Thank you! Yes, I would be riding in a cart. I’m more concerned with the golf swing. My injury is on my right leg and I swing right handed.

A good marker for progression/confidence would be the ability to do some full range rebounding calf raises. That would give me confidence that the patient can tolerate faster movements of the ankle with weight. Good thing about golf is that you’re not having to push against heavy weight through the foot in follow through so it’s usually fairly safe to return to

@@sportrehabguide Got it, thanks again!

We can never predict a re repture. Best advice would be find a good PT that can monitor your objective measures, follow your precautions, listen to your body and don’t rush in to football too soon. Give yourself time to build your calf strength

@@sportrehabguide thanks mate!

yes, my foot is still swollen, Im at week 16 non op

These exercises are just a guide and if I were to include possible scenarios it would be a very long video. I will take note of your comment and keep it in mind for a future video. Progression ideas could be single leg calf raises in hydro/non affected side on the above step I found works well. Two hands pushing through a surface. Have used a powerband tied to a high point/chin up bar also to aid with body weight.

Other ones coming to me are, Up on two legs, down on affected side slowly and controlled. Isometrics through range too eg start / mid / end of range. It will all depend on the person in front of you.

keep quiet dog.

Week 26

Can be a number of things and impossible for anyone to give you an answer without assessment. Always best to run it by who’s taking you through the recovery.
