The background
A Basketball Career Built on Broken Ankles
I played basketball at the University of Memphis at the Division I level. I loved the game — the competition, the team, the grind of practice every day. But there was one thing that kept derailing everything: my ankles.
I lost count of how many times I sprained them. It was more than 30. Some were minor rolls that slowed me down for a few days. Others were bad enough to pull me out of games and practices for weeks at a time.
Every time it happened, I went through the same frustrating cycle. Ice it. Wrap it. Rest it. Wait. See the trainer. Do some half-hearted exercises with rubber bands. Limp back into practice too soon. Do it again.
"I tried everything — RICE, rubber therapy bands, ice whirlpools, galvanic stimulation, massage therapy, chiropractors, ankle braces of every kind, professional taping jobs. Nothing fixed the underlying problem."
I wasn't just frustrated — I was desperate. Every sprain meant missed time, lost conditioning, falling behind. And no matter what the trainers did, my ankles kept giving out. They were weak. Floppy. Unreliable.
The turning point
One Practice Changed Everything
After yet another sprained ankle in practice — I honestly don't even remember which number it was — I decided I was done accepting the standard protocol. I committed to finding a better way, even if it meant figuring it out myself.
I started researching. I talked to trainers, read everything I could find, and started experimenting on myself. What I discovered was that most ankle rehab programs were attacking the problem in the wrong order, and missing critical pieces entirely.
The Discovery
The breakthrough came when I realized that a sprained ankle has three separate problems that all need to be addressed — and most rehab programs only address one or two of them.
First: the swelling has to go — fast. Swelling immobilizes the joint and prevents everything else from working. I found a specific treadmill technique that moves pooled blood out of the ankle far faster than rest or ice alone.
Second: the supporting muscles need to be strengthened — specifically. Not generic physical therapy exercises, but targeted work that rebuilds the exact muscles and ligaments that were damaged.
Third: the proprioceptive sensors need to be retrained. This is the piece almost everyone misses. When you sprain your ankle, the tiny nerve sensors that tell your brain where your ankle is get damaged. Until those are recalibrated, your ankle will keep giving way — no matter how good it feels.
I combined these three approaches into one program, refined it over multiple injuries, and tested it on myself. The results were dramatic. My recovery time dropped from weeks to days. My ankles got stronger than they'd ever been. And then something remarkable happened:
I never sprained my ankle again for the rest of my career.
Sharing the system
From One Athlete to Thousands
I nearly forgot about the program entirely after my playing days. It had worked so well that ankle sprains just... stopped being a problem for me.
Then a friend of mine sprained his ankle badly right before a national MMA competition. He was devastated — weeks of training and preparation potentially wasted. I explained the program to him, told him where to get the inexpensive equipment, and walked him through it.
He competed the following week. He won his first match.
That's when I knew this needed to be shared. I put the program online and the response was beyond anything I expected.
The first customers proved it wasn't just athletes
Brides-to-be, lawyers, grandparents, 8-year-olds — the program worked for everyone who followed it, regardless of fitness level or age.
Over 4,000 people recovered using the program
With a refund rate under 4% — and most of those refunds coming from people who later discovered they had fractures, not sprains.
Results lasted — 20+ years and counting
The program doesn't just get people walking again. It rebuilds the ankle stronger than before the injury, reducing future sprains dramatically.
FastRehab.com was born
The site has been helping ankle sprain sufferers get back on their feet fast since 2004 — now updated, rebuilt, and better than ever.
Why you can trust this
This Isn't a Medical Practice. It's Personal Experience That Works.
I want to be straight with you about what I am and what I'm not. I'm not a doctor, a physical therapist, or a medical professional. I'm a former Division I athlete who suffered through more ankle sprains than anyone should have to, found something that worked dramatically better than anything else I tried, and spent years proving it works for other people too.
The program works because it's based on sound biomechanical principles — not medical theory. It's been tested on thousands of real people with real injuries over more than 20 years. The results speak for themselves.

I still answer every customer email. When you buy the FastRehab program, you're not getting a ticket into a support system — you're getting my direct email address and a response normally within 3-4 hours.
Because I know what it feels like to be stuck on the couch with a bag of ice on your ankle, wondering if you're going to miss the game, the race, the trip, the wedding. And I know what it feels like when the program works and you're back on your feet days later, dumbfounded that it was that fast.
That's why I'm still doing this.
