In Ask Maya 9 I’m answering Marcie’s question: “I have been watching you on YouTube and I have some questions. My accident happened this year… And surgery was Feb 2nd of this year. I’m afraid to walk in my boot and bear weight on my foot. Any suggestions please!“
This is a really common challenge after an injured ankle.
