I found this program late Saturday night about 11:30pm. My ankle has been a mess for the past 2 weeks. It started with a gout flare up that occurred while out of town for Memorial Day and I did not have my Indomethicin with me. The pain got worse and worse and I had to walk on the side of my foot for almost 2 days. This screwed up my ankle even worse, leading to some tendon/ligament sprains on the top/side of my foot. It got worse and worse, until Friday and Saturday it was so bad that by the end of those days I could barely walk. When I got off work Saturday, my foot was swelled up to about 3 x normal size. It was pretty nasty looking and there was some discoloration also.
I started your therapy immediately and woke up Sunday morning with virtually no swelling. I walked on it pretty normally with a little pain Sunday all day, and by the end of the night, it had swelled up maybe 1/3 of what it was the day before. Monday morning I woke up and there was no swelling, and even after walking on it all day, there was only maybe 1/10 the swelling as there was Saturday. Tuesday I woke up and moved my ankle around and had probably 80% ROM with no pain. In fact, the only time I even noticed my ankle today was when I walked up and down stairs, as it still was a little uncomfortable, but not really bad.
Tomorrow when I wake up, I expect to be almost completely back to normal!! I cannot believe what rapid progress your system has made. In fact, it has been so remarkable, my doctor was stunned. He called today to see how I was doing and if I wanted to get an MRI. When I told him I was walking on it almost normally, he asked "How? you should still be on crutches for a few more days". I told him about finding H.E.M. methods and he thought it was interesting, and was going to look into to and recommend it to his patients!!
Thank you so much!! I can get back to working out again!!
Regards, Matt

Thank you for your system. I sustained a bad sprain to my ankle two months before I was due to run my first marathon. I found your system online, and followed it. It worked miracles! I got back on my training plan, and completed my marathon! I still do the exercises, which have definitely strengthened my ankles. Highly recommended.

Thank you for devising the H.E.M. Ankle Rehab System. It worked for me! AMAZING! A (bad) ankle sprain kept me in pain and on my back for over a week before I discovered HEM. It had been R.I.C.E and pain-killers until then. I was desperate. On the third day of HEM I was able to put weight on my injured foot for the first time, and on the fifth day I was able to mow my lawn pushing a heavy power mower. AMAZING!

Hi Scott,
It has been 5 days since I bought your Ebook & have been doing all the steps in getting my badly sprained ankle back on track. I am happy to report that I am getting better. The swelling is going down, bruising not as bad & mobility - not bad for 5 days. Thanks so much for you new outlook on treating ankles.
Thanks again & will keep in touch on how it is all going.

1 Week, no Pain!

Hi-
I bought your book 1 week ago after spraining my ankle a day before. I have been doing your system for a week now and I am walking with no pain. I am feeling good only minor pain if i move it in a weird position. I had a doctor visit today to check how the ankle was doing. The doctor was amazed I was walking. He told me I had a level 3 ankle sprain. He said I had no breaks but tore legiments and that I should stay off it for three weeks, then do rehab. I have made such good progress with your system.
