ANKLE SPRAINS

These are usually acute injuries where you 'go over' on your ankle and tear the ligaments. If it is only mild then it may not require treatment but an ankle with significant swelling and pain needs rehabilitation. If not individuals may be left with residual pain and muscle weakness which a few simple exercises could correct.

Common symptoms:

A history of 'going over' on your ankle either since childhood or a previous ankle sprain
Pain, stiffness or swelling after activity
Pain walking over rough ground
Fatigues quickly with activity
