Abstract
The study aimed to identify the extent of the effect of the method proposed by the researcher. The researcher used the experimental method with a single group due to its suitability for the nature of the study. The sample included players affected by this injury, specifically football players from Basra Governorate, aged between 20 and 30 years, with a total of 7 players. The proposed method was applied over six weeks to treat the injury, restore the normal range of motion of the foot, and achieve complete recovery, through three rehabilitation sessions. The researcher concluded that the proposed method had a positive effect in treating the injury and recommends using this method for similar cases. Additionally, the researcher advises performing proper warm-up exercises for all body joints before physical activity.
