How to Manage: Ankle Sprains

A sprain occurs when the ligaments, which join bones together, are over stretched and damaged.

When you sprain your ankle, it is important to regain full movement, strength and balance. Seeing a Specialist Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist will ensure your ankle is given the best chance of a full recovery.

The initial assessment will identify any reduction in range, strength and importantly balance. Once you have sustained an ankle injury, you are a lot more susceptible to further sprains if you do not adequately rehabilitate the injured structures. Even if you feel that the ankle is okay in day to day activities, it is worth making an appointment to check that no underlying problems exist.

To book an appointment with one of our physiotherapists follow the link or contact your closest clinic.
