Our goal in treating ankle sprains and other injuries through physical therapy is to help your body mend itself. By addressing torn or strained tissue and through increasing tendon and ligament strength, we’re able to not only address the injury at hand but can also help your body avoid similar ankle sprains in the future.
Some of the most common benefits experienced from ankle sprain exercises and treatment include but are not limited to:
❖ Better ankle movement shortly after the injury
❖ Improved range of motion
❖ Greater stability and awareness of ankle placement and movement during routine tasks, workouts, and other activities
❖ Decreased scar tissue for minimized pain and tension in the future
Contrary to popular belief, it’s important that you begin moving your ankle shortly after the sprain has occurred. While some physical therapists might brace your ankle and discourage movement, we take a different approach that accelerates your recovery time through continued activity and muscle utilization.
