Ankle Sprains

Physiotherapy is a great treatment option for ankle sprains. It can help to reduce pain, increase range of motion, and restore function to your ankle.

The goal of physiotherapy is to help your ankle heal properly and prevent further injuries. Your physiotherapist will use a variety of techniques to help you achieve this, including:

  • Ice and heat therapy: Ice can help to reduce pain and swelling, while heat can help to increase blood flow and promote healing
  • Range-of-motion exercises: These exercises will help to increase the flexibility of your ankle joint.
  • Strength-training exercises: These exercises will help to strengthen the muscles around your ankle joint, which will improve stability.
  • Proprioceptive exercises: These exercises will help you to improve your balance and coordination.

The specific treatment plan that your physiotherapist will recommend will depend on the severity of your sprain and your individual needs. In general, physiotherapy can help you to recover from an ankle sprain more quickly and fully than if you did not receive treatment.
