01
Tap immediately when ankle pressure begins - do not test flexibility limits.
02
Progressive pressure allows 5+ second pain window before ligament damage.
03
50/50 ankle locks create mutual injury risk - both practitioners' ankles at risk.
04
Never roll or twist explosively while foot is trapped - risks knee or ankle damage.
05
Ankle injuries require weeks of recovery - avoid high-volume drilling of same leg.
