Today I’m pleased to farewell my Aircast Foam Walker aka “Moon Boot”

Faced with an ankle that was getting worse than better I had a foam walker prescribed.

Late last week I was ready to come out of of it, but I’m working on a very conservative front right now and wanted to make sure I had both specialist and Physio advise on managing with out it. It’s great at immobilizing your ankle, but it comes at a hell of a cost.

You can’t get around as easily and you do have to inflate and deflate it each day. In my case it gave me stability and with the assistance of crutches meant I could get around a lot more easily.

The time is now to stop using it and to re-train my ankle to cope with the load I’m putting on it. I decided to use the weekend to master this as I’m only going to put myself in familiar surroundings plus if I need to rest which I do need to frequently that’s fine. I don’t have to be anywhere on the weekend.

So thank you for your assistance, it’s be helpful, but your fired! (can’t believe I just typed that!)
