Have you had a sprained ankle (ankle sprain)?
Have you sprained your ankle or are you having trouble with your ankle after a sprain? Have this assessed quickly by one of our physiotherapists. The sooner you start physiotherapy, the sooner you can achieve your (sports) goals. If you start physiotherapy later, there is a chance of stiffness of the ankle and a longer rehabilitation.
After an ankle sprain, the ankle often becomes swollen and painful within minutes. When you can no longer stand on the foot / ankle, it is advised to take an X-ray to rule out a fracture.
After an ankle sprain, physiotherapy can be started immediately. Initially, the focus is on reducing pain and swelling by means of cooling and, if necessary, taping, in order to then restore the mobility of the ankle. After that, strength, coordination and balance will have to be restored before sports-specific training and resumption of sports can take place.
