Ankle Sprain

An ankle sprain is a stretch or tear of the ligaments around the ankle, usually from a sudden twist or fall; physiotherapy helps restore stability, strength, and confidence in movement.

Common Symptoms

Do's

  • Rest, ice, compress, and elevate the ankle initially
  • Gradually resume weight-bearing as pain allows
  • Wear supportive footwear during recovery
  • Follow a guided rehabilitation plan to rebuild stability

Don'ts

  • Don't return to sports before the ankle feels stable
  • Avoid walking on uneven surfaces during early recovery
  • Don't ignore repeated ankle sprains or persistent instability
  • Avoid skipping rehabilitation once swelling subsides

When to see a physiotherapist: Seek assessment if you cannot bear weight, swelling is severe, or the ankle feels unstable after the injury.
