Ankle Sprains and Strains

Physiotherapy for Ankle Sprains and Strains

An ankle sprain happens when the ligaments in your ankle are stretched or torn, while a strain affects the muscles or tendons. Both injuries often occur when the ankle twists beyond its normal range.

How Physiotherapy Can Help
Physiotherapy is key to recovering from ankle injuries and reducing the risk of re-injury. A well-structured rehab program helps manage pain and swelling, restores movement, and builds stability through specific exercises. Research shows that people who’ve had one ankle sprain are much more likely to have another, so our team focuses on strengthening and protecting the joint to keep you active and safe.
