I got to say, Very impressed… I can actually feel the tingling.  Been using if for a week…  3-4x a day at 20 min intervals.   My ROM has increased and its painless.   Foot does get a bit warm, but its nothing to complain about.

I am just over 4 weeks post-op and my mother in law whom is a nurse for the doctor that did my surgery tells me that I am ahead of schedule.   I know its not over yet, but so far so good.

As stated in my other posts, I have also been supplementing Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Collagen, Glucosamine - chondroitin - msm , and Omega 3 fish oils. That along with a strict diet of hi protein,  low carbs and extremely low fat has helped. I also perform a full upper body routine at home with dumbbells and resistance bands!

I would recommend to anyone to keep active!!! its the key to your mental state and can help in recovery.

  1. I was wondering about this. Do you feel more flexible after using it? If you have used electrical stim in therapy before, how does it compare? I showed it to my PT to check out, but it got lost in his pile of emails and I haven’t gotten a ruling from him.

  2. first thing in the morning I do some ankle stretching. Just under my own muscle. No extra bands or extra resistance. I then do 2 sessions of 20 min with the brace on. Foot and ankle is warm and I notice I can stretch it out a bit further without any pain or discomfort. I may only stretch 1/4″ more each time with the brace, but its better than no improvement. Also, I used to be sore after doing the stretches, now I can do ankle stretches 2-3 times a day and not the sore anymore

    I have never used anything like this before.
    Also, the doc and nurse ( my mother in law) attribute my ahead of schedule recovery so far to a few things.. My age..only 32. Im physically fit ( resistance training and martial arts 3-4x a week) and a strict diet.

    As soon as I got home from the hospital I started to take :
    Vitamin C
    Vitamin E
    Callogen
    Omega 3
    Glucosamine / chondroitin / MSM

    all these will help with bone , joint, tendon pain and recovery.

  3. Interesting about the BFST. I have pretty significant pain which only seems to abate with activity, but then comes back after resting. I have significant swelling still and I’m 7 weeks Post-op. wondering if i may drop some money and pick this up.

  4. Hmmm. May have to invest in one.

  5. I would recommend it. Try it., its got a 60 day money back gaurentee..

  6. Sold!

  9. Hey tkdco. Great post and sounds like a great product. How has your recovery been since your last post? Anyone else have comments about their experience using the BFST?

  10. I’ve been looking more into the BFST since reading this and my last post, and noticed they have a different wrap as well for the ankle (as oppose to the Achilles wrap). I am quite prone to rolling ankles and think this may be a great treatment for when it does happen, but also just a good preventative. Any thoughts?

  11. I see that there is updated pages on their website. I’m loving it!

  12. I have used the Ankle Inferno BFST wrap from the MendMeShop group (in addition to a few other of their wraps). Getting old is just not fun…

    Being a weekend warrrior and likely thinking I am in better physical condition than I truly am, I am certainly prone to acute injuries.

    In spraining my ankle a couple times in November and December, I decided to take the plunge and try the Ankle inferno. I truly believe it helped in accelerating my healing time as I was able to get back into sports more quickly than I would have thought. I still use it before strenuous activities like hiking or skiing.

    All in all, I was happy with the purchase.

  13. Well I’ve had mine for a few weeks. I’m not sur if it is the Kingbrand BFST therapy or just healing but I could hardly walk due to twisting my knee. Within a week of using this therapy I was walking with a lot more ease. I’ve now been using it one other sore spots. Today my lower back was feeling really sore. I laid down and used this therapy. Seemed to make a huge difference.. my knee is also progressing nicely. The webbing main part broke so I had to send it back to be replaced but I received it within a few days and I’m back and I believe it’s really helping.

  14. See to it that you constantly make use of the main internet sites for downloading and install applications as there are stockpiles of others which may include contaminated documents, downloading and install which might be hazardous to your system.

  15. Considering that you intend to terminate teaching tasks of calling the institution directly. It makes things more organized as well as efficient for everybody involved.

  16. Thank you for posting such a great article! I found your website perfect for my needs
