Hi Brandon, Thank you for watching this office hours session. I’m glad the information we covered was useful. I hope you can join one of these sessions in the future! They are every Wednesday morning at 9 AM PST.

Katharine Lundby So weird. Sorry about this. I will ask my technical team why this is happening and get back to you.

Katharine Lundby Can you try those exercises again? I just went back into the settings to make sure that they were all published and accessible to anyone with a paid subscription.

Katharine Lundby Shoot, that shouldn’t be happening. Which videos are giving you this message?

Katharine Lundby Happy to help! Keep me updated on how things go. Also, I hold a live office hours session every Wednesday at 9 AM PST. If you ever want to join and ask specific questions, you can register for these live sessions at the bottom of the app.

Hi Katharine, I’m sorry to hear about all of the issues that your son has been through with his right leg. Based on each of the areas you mentioned, I would actually suggest that he perform exercises from three different programs here in the app. Since he doesn’t have pain and has full range of motion, it would be best for him to focus on phase 3 of these programs since this phase primarily revolves around building strength and control.

Here are the three programs I would suggest that he starts with.

1. Hip Stability Prehab Program (this will help with gluteus medius strength)

2. Knee Ligament Injury Rehab Program (phase 3 & 4) - this program will help with knee strength and stability.

3. Plantar Fasciitis Rehab Program (the first three exercises in phase 2) - these exercises will help strengthen the muscles that lift and control the arch of the foot.

This Goodlife That’s so weird that your calf muscles cramped like this out of the blue. I’m so glad to hear that the exercises helped reduce your symptoms. You might consider performing these three exercises a couple of times per week to help reduce the odds that the cramping returns.

This Goodlife That’s so great to hear! You could also add a calf stretch as well. That stretch can be found in the plantar fasciitis and shin splints programs. It is in phase one and involves the use of a wedge.

This Goodlife No problem! Please keep me updated on whether or your symptoms improve.

This Goodlife besides the calf raise, I would also implement the calf mobilization with the foam roller in the Achilles program. It’s the first exercise in phase one.
