Talocrural joint manipulation with x-guard cradle
••••••••••••••••••••
My training partner had a “tight” ankle after a session of drilling heel hooks. Quick assessment revealed a mild hypomobile talocrural joint. A functional release technique- x-guard leg cradle was used for proper positioning to isolate the ankle. After the manipulation my training partner had more mobility and less complaints of stiffness. .
A follow up with ankle CARs and PAILs to re-educate the nervous system for improved long term ankle mobility.

With the recent popularity of leg locks in modern Jiu jitsu competitions it is important for practitioners to maintain adequate ankle mobility.
