ANKLE SPRAIN & INSTABILITY REHAB

If you’ve ever had a bad sprain, especially if your ankle bruised and swelled up, rehab is SO important but it’s often forgotten about once the initial pain subsides. These exercises are the ones I usually give in the early stages of . They should be challenging but not painful. They’ll then be progressed to include jumping and hopping versions with changes of direction to rehab the ankle fully (post to come soon).

Doing these exercises for ankle strengthening and balance can help to prevent future issues and ensure the ankle fully recovers. Ligaments have less bloody supply than muscle and bone so they take a bit longer to heal. Aim to do your rehab for 3 months, 5 x per week (daily if possible). Then include balance and general ankle strengthening exercises into your normal strengthening workouts a couple of times per week going forwards.

Even if you’ve never sprained your ankle, these are great exercises to include regularly to help with sports and exercise that involves change of directions and balance.

💫 AROUND THE CLOCK X 5-1

💫 STEP-TO X 5 - this video shows one rep

💫OFFSET SQUAT X 10 - it’s normal for discomfort at the front of the ankle after a sprain (impingement) and this can help to
restore this movement.

💫 HEEL RAISE X 10-20 - hold onto the wall/chair for balance at first.

💫 BANDED PLANTARFLEXION X 10-20 - do this instead of heel raises temporarily if they’re too difficult or painful.

💫 BANDED EVERSION X 10-20 - this targets the peroneal muscles on the outside of the ankle and leg. It can also be injured during an ankle sprain so needs attention. It also helps to compensate for the ligament if it’s completely torn.

Are you struggling with a reoccurring injury? Injuries can lead to imbalances due to compensatory movements, once your acute pain resolves imbalances can cause reoccurring issues. It's important when assessing Injuries to look at the body as a whole to ensure full recovery. Whether your goal is return to sport or return to activities that are important you, I believe its important to not just resolve the acute pain issue but to continue to address any imbalances that have developed due to the injury or have caused the injury. If you have a reoccurring injury that keeps returning or believe this holistic approach would benefit you, contact chris drescher physiotherapy to discuss.
