+=== FOR RECOVERING FROM INJURY ===
 Sprain of the external lateral ligament of the ankle is, without a doubt, the most common traumatic pathology. The sprain (infringement) of ankle, it is more than 24,000 cases per day in U.S.A.

 # Improvement of reflex loops and thus allow a rapid and effective contraction
 # Optimum reinforcement of inverters that must be stronger than spillers to avoid sprained ankle
+=== FOR PREVENTING RECURRENCE ===
+There are different degrees of sprain, sometimes we twist our foot without realizing it, which creates micro damage to the ligament. These mini sprains, not being treated, give risks of recurrence. Chronic instability with episodes of repeated sprains and whose triggering factors are less and less frank, threatens anyone who has already had a serious ligament tear. The recurrence rate is 80%!
+A torn ligament regains its continuity after 6 weeks... but it is only solid after 6 months! Throughout this period, recidivism threatens! During this period, the ankle is not at 100% of these abilities, it is vulnerable.
+Continuous self-rehabilitation with '''Ankle Foot Exerciser''' is the essential weapon to fight against chronic ankle instability and thus minimize the risk of relapse! No excuses: when you're on the go, the 4 squares are so small that they fit in any (sport) bag!
+=== FOR IMPROVING PROPRIOCEPTION ===
+Proprioception, also called neuromuscular reprogramming, refers to all the receptors, pathways and nerve centers involved in the perception, conscious or not, of the relative position of parts of the body in relation to one another.
+Having already suffered an injury on foot or ankle can affect somatosensory system and decrease balance. Following an injury, it is therefore important to regain proprioception as quickly as possible, to makeit possible to rehabilitate a stable ankle or foot.
+The ligament not only has a mechanical role to limit abnormal joint movements, but it also has a position information mission. Nerve sensors of tension are found in the ligaments, in the case of a sprain, these are damaged.
+'''Neuromuscular reprogramming on Ankle Foot Exercisers promotes:'''
+# A gradual relearning of perceptions from our own body by acting on the muscle-tendon complex and the motor plate-neuron junction
+# The regeneration of new fibers inside the ligament that have been injured during a sprain.
+# Muscle balance and joint safety, thanks to the succession of AGONIST and ANTAGONISTS exercises.
+=== FOR A GOOD POSTURE ===
+Take a moment (right now) to check your posture. Are you slouching? Are you leaning to the side? Is your head jutting forward? Small details like these make long term differences in life. Take care of yourself, each and every day.
+Strong feet supporting stabilized ankles are the foundation tip-top shape!
+As we progress in life, we start sitting more and walking less (man since his creation has always walked, our grandparents without car walked 3 times more), eventually losing motion and strength. The foot is our base of support and distribute upward and downward force through our body. If the foot or ankle is weak, stuck or out of alignment, it leads to an uneven distribution causing back pain, bulged discs, sciatica, hip pain, and knee pain. If we strengthen, realign, and stabilize our ankles and feet, we can change everything.
+Simple, fast and effective, the '''Ankle Foot Exerciser''' will get you back into the game of life.
+With regular use, we can keep our whole body in good posture, and pain free to live to the fullest.
+=== FOR REALIZING YOUR DREAMS ===
+May it be:
+* For curative actions on treatments linked to foot and heel pains, plantar fasciitis, Achilles' tendonitis.
+* To re-educate faster after ankle sprain and hence reducing downtime.
+* For youngest exercising in a fun way, to adopt a good posture from early childhood
+* For adults to realign spine from the bottom, reduce knee, back pains,
+* For elderly people to tackle ankle instability,
+* To move faster running, swimming, boxing, ...
+* for baskets, tennis, soccer, ... players to strengthen feet and ankles,
+* For gymnasts, yoga, Pilate practitioners to have a better range of motion,
+* For adventurers, challengers, when having a good balance is a must to go beyond limits.
+'''Ankle Foot Exerciser is your SKYROCKET to reach your up to the moon GOALS, whatever your age, physical condition!'''
+=== NOW LET'S START! ===
+DISCLAIMER:
+* Use the Ankle Foot Exerciser on a hard and non-slippery ground. Arrange your space in such a way as to avoid any possible injury. Whatever your level of balance, always remember to have a point of support (chair, table, wall...) to catch up in case of a fall.
+* Consult your physiotherapist or doctor for personal advice.
+* Test your balance: you must be able to stay balanced on one foot at least 30 seconds before training on the '''Ankle Foot Exerciser.'''
+* If pain occurs, stop yourself! No pain should be allowed. You may not have warmed up your foot or ankle enough, or you may be going too fast, or too hard in intensity.
+* If you have had a sprained ankle with bone tear, the healing of the ligaments takes at least 6 to 8 weeks. It is advisable to keep the body active by working on sheathing, bodybuilding. At the end of the 8th week, start he reeducation working on on the '''Ankle Foot Exerciser''' to promote the constitution of a solid scar thanks to the orientation of the fibers in the axis of the constraints, enhancing an efficient recovery and preventing recurrence. If you have had a sprained ankle without ultrasound markers showing ligament tear, in this case this is not a sprain but just an instability, then it is advisable to strengthen the ankle as soon as possible, working out on the '''Ankle Foot Exerciser'''.
