*Important progress update*
Just got back from PT & doctors appt i got a lot of info cleared up. The first myth i want to dispute is the whole losing function thing if you go past 7cm for tibias. Guys you don’t randomally just lose function. Loss of function mainly depends on two things: your gradual bone formation and your soft tissues.
1. If your bones are showing slow gradual filling
2. If you are flexible enough to easily bring your toes above 90 degrees into the 5-15 range. If you maintain that range until 8cm, they will let you go through 8. Based on averages and studies however, most people have shown that around 5cm they stop being able to get in that safe 5-15 degree range, and so they stop you. HOWEVER, if you are within that 5-15 degree range, they will let you keep going to 8 and NO you will NOT randomally lose function and all that bs years later. Paley’s team is the best, they will not allow you to develop ballerina. If you start developing ballerina, you’ve went past your safe limit and have began trading function for length
That being said, my assessemtn right now at 2.1 CM is unfortunately tighter than average :/ he said that i am at the lower end of normal which is not good. My new strategy now is to hit the board stretches EVERY HOUR. I cant afford to fool around anymore. With this new information that YES, if I am flexible enough i CAN SAFETLY HIT 8cm, its now me vs me
I will be setting an alarm to go off every hour and will stretch idc
Hopefully that fixed my situation I’ll keep you guys posted
THE ROAD TO 8CM SAFETLY IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE BUT MIGHT AS WEL TRY!!!

I pretty much got the green card from the doc to go to 8cm on tibias, contingent on that I always maintain a dorsiflextion above 90 degrees ideally 5-15 degrees. I kid you not, today I litterally stretched more than 10 times. This is exhuasting but i’m pushing through. Problem is my right leg is JUST passing 90, maybe 2-3 degrees and my left leg is 2-3 degrees under
I started out 10 degrees on my right, 5 on my left.
I am starting to be concerned I need help any advice to fix my dorsiflextion
I am at 2.5cm rn. At this rate i’ll probably start failing very soon / 5cm max.
Any expert tibias out there have advice to fix your dorsiflextion? Please and thank you
Guys please don’t ever think this is gonna be easy. I am littrrally suffering rn 9/10 pain from my left femur!! I guess my femur hasnt fully recovered yet so I just poped 10mg of oxy hopefully that kills the pain
2.5cm baby by dec1 i’ll be at 5cm and then we’ll see if by jan1 i can hit 7.5
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Wow. You’re a badasss dude! Very inspiring. 7.5cm would mean you’d almost hit 6” in a little over a year... that must be life changing! Rooting for you man, keep pushing!

The guy who hit 7.6cm tibia without getting ballerina did 6 to 8 hours of standing calf stretch with an inclined wedge everyday without counting break time, never had a day off.
He said if didn’t do long hours stretching, next day it would be harder to stretch
Less than 5 hours is not good
If aiming over 7cm, really need 7 hours a day average or even more if you are doing after femurs.

Also I heard this balance board is good for stretching both AT and IT bands

If consolidation speed allows, better to slow down lengthening speed to reduce pain
