Ankle sprain: recover and stop it happening again
A poorly rehabilitated sprain is the most common reason ankles keep rolling. We treat the swelling, restore mobility and train your balance so you come back with a strong ankle.
Is this you?
- You have rolled your ankle and it is swollen
- It is hard to put weight on it or walk
- Your ankle rolls easily
- It still hurts weeks after the sprain
What we treat
Acute sprain
First days: control swelling and start weight-bearing early.
Chronic instability

Return to sport

Frequently asked questions
Ice and rest?
Protecting the ankle helps in the first days, but it is best to start moving it and putting weight on it early, with guidance.
When is an X-ray needed?
If you cannot put weight on it or there is pain over specific bony areas. We check this during the examination.
