YOUR INJURY COULD BE...
Ankle Sprain
REHAB YOUR INJURY BY...
Active Rest: Use your ankle when able and pain free. If you can walk but not jog, then just walk.
Icing: 15 minutes for 2 to 3 times per day, with at least one hour in-between.
Elevate: Try to lay on your back and place a pillow under your legs and ankle.
Compression: Using compression sleeves/stockings or ankle braces to protect your ankle can help re-injury.
Toe Alphabet: On your back, hold your leg up behind you knee and write the alphabet with your big toe. All this should be pain-free. If you pain progressively gets worse, you may want to get an x-ray.
Stretch: Find a step and drop your heel off the end of the step and hold the position for 15 seconds. Switch legs and stretch other side. Do this 3 times.
Strengthen: When you can walk on your foot pain free you are ready for heel raises. Stand on a flat surface and lift your body weight. Hold on to something to keep your balance. Lift with both feet 20 times and repeat for 3 sets. Once you can do this pain free, then repeat the heel lifts with one foot bent up and off the ground. After this becomes pain free, slowly work your way back to your activities.
