What is Bish/Bash/Bosh and what does it mean in the context of a sprained ankle?
The Big Idea
Almost everyone has sprained an ankle. Most recover sufficiently to walk again. Many never recover normal ankle and foot mechanics.
Healing isn't the same as restoring function.
An inversion ankle sprain is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries, yet it remains one of the most frequently under-treated. Once the pain begins to settle, attention often turns to protection and support, while the underlying mechanics of the ankle and foot receive little consideration.
This course explores why restoring movement is just as important as protecting injured tissues. Using a practical clinical framework, you'll learn how to assess and address the three key mechanical components commonly affected by an inversion sprain: the talocrural joint, the calcaneo-cuboid locking mechanism and subtalar joint mechanics.
Rather than simply helping an ankle recover, you'll develop a systematic approach to restoring efficient foot function, reducing the risk of chronic symptoms and supporting a confident return to activity.
By the end of this course you will be able to
Explore why pain often resolves before normal mechanics return, and why this can lead to recurring injuries and long-term dysfunction.
Learn a structured approach to evaluating the talocrural joint, the calcaneo-cuboid locking mechanism and subtalar joint mechanics.
Develop practical assessment and corrective techniques to improve mobility, stability and efficient foot function following injury.
Understand when taping can assist recovery and why it should support restored mechanics rather than replace them.
Introduce progressive exercises that help patients regain normal movement patterns and return safely to activity.
Lower Extremity Seminar
This online module is part of the learning in the more extensive curriculum of the Lower Extremity Seminar, where these principles are integrated into a comprehensive approach to the assessment and management of lower-limb function within overall movement strategies.

Jesper Dahl's teaching combines evidence-informed practice with over three decades of clinical experience, helping practitioners develop clearer clinical reasoning and practical rehabilitation strategies that can be applied immediately in practice.
Every ankle sprain has the potential to influence the way someone moves long after the pain has settled. Join us and discover how restoring normal foot mechanics can help reduce chronic dysfunction, improve rehabilitation and support a more confident return to activity.
