Ankle Sprains

Ankle sprains frequently occur during sports or when stepping on uneven ground. They often result in sudden pain, swelling, and bruising. While resting, many experience throbbing pain and stiffness, whereas during movement, the ankle can feel unstable and painful, making it hard to put weight on. At our Sydney physiotherapy clinic, we provide tailored treatment to help you recover. Our approach includes manual therapy, balance training, and exercises aimed at restoring strength and range of motion, reducing the risk of future sprains.

An Ankle Rehab Program

An ankle Rehab Program is a structured and comprehensive plan aimed at helping individuals recover from ancle injuries. The program should focus on restoring strength, stability, and functionality to the ankle joint while minimising the risk of re-injury.

Ankle Sprains – FAQs

How can physiotherapy help with an ankle sprain?
Our physiotherapists assess the cause of your an ankle sprain, then use a combination of hands-on treatment, targeted exercise and a graded rehabilitation program to help reduce pain and restore movement and strength.
Do I need a referral or a scan before seeing a physio for an ankle sprain?
No referral is needed to see a physiotherapist. Many cases of an ankle sprain can be assessed and managed without imaging; if a scan is appropriate, your physio will discuss it with you and your GP.
How long does it take to recover from an ankle sprain?
Recovery varies depending on the severity and cause. After assessing you, your physiotherapist will give you an estimated timeframe and a clear rehabilitation plan.
When should I see a physio for an ankle sprain?
It is worth booking an assessment if your pain is persistent, limiting your activity, or not improving. Early assessment can help stop a minor issue becoming a longer-term problem.
Can I keep exercising with an ankle sprain?
Often yes, with the right modifications. Your physiotherapist will advise which activities to continue, adjust or temporarily avoid as part of your recovery.
