BEST PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENT OF ANKLE SPRAIN AT MAHARANI BAGH

At physionautics ankle sprain occurs due to overstretching or tearing of the ankle ligaments, commonly after twisting the foot inward. The physiotherapy protocol for ankle sprain focuses on reducing pain, swelling, restoring mobility, strength, balance, and preventing recurrence. In the acute stage, management includes protection, rest, ice, compression, and elevation along with pain-relieving modalities such as TENS or IFT. Gentle active range-of-motion exercises like ankle pumps and ankle circles are started early to prevent stiffness. As pain and swelling decrease, stretching exercises for the calf muscles and strengthening exercises using therabands for dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, inversion, and eversion are introduced.At physionautics Weight-bearing activities are gradually progressed according to tolerance. Balance and proprioception training such as single-leg standing, heel raises, toe walking, wobble board exercises, and gait training help improve ankle stability and coordination. In the final stage, functional and sport-specific exercises including step-ups, hopping, jogging, and agility drills are added to restore normal activity and reduce the risk of future ankle sprains.
