Where is the ankle?

Ankle bone is located at the junction of human feet and legs.

The foot is the second heart of human beings, and the ankle is an important channel for the blood flow of the left and right feet. Whether the blood circulation of the lower body is smooth or not has a great influence on the blood circulation of the whole body. Ankle is an important part where blood flows through the left and right feet. If the ankle is soft and elastic, the returned venous blood can pass through the ankle smoothly. If the ankle is stiff and aging, the returning blood will stay near the ankle, which will affect the normal blood circulation.

If the ankle is aging and stiff, the venous blood of the heart will stagnate near the ankle like a traffic jam, which will increase the burden on the heart and increase the risk of hypertension in the long run. By doing gymnastics or massage, the ankle can be changed from stiff to soft and flexible, especially for the elderly, which can not only make the returned blood pass through the ankle smoothly, but also relieve the symptoms of hypertension.

Extended data:

Ankle sprain is a common sports injury. After ankle sprain, it often leads to excessive traction or tearing of ligaments around the ankle joint, and in serious cases, it will cause fractures around the ankle joint. Because the ankle joint is the load-bearing joint of human movement, its state directly affects the quality of life.

Those with mild symptoms are only mild local pain, and in severe cases, the whole foot surface may be bruised or even unable to move. Eighty percent of ankle sprains occur on the outside. The first-degree sprain is mainly caused by slight swelling and pain of the affected part, and the second-degree swelling and pain is heavier, but the ligament is not completely broken; Third-degree sprain is a complete tear of ligament, and severe cases will be accompanied by calf fracture and joint instability, which should not be underestimated.
