A proper, effective ankle sprain treatment should closely follow a set schedule full of initial treatment techniques, swelling reduction strategies, dynamic stretching, strength training movements, and a handful of additional methods that have been proven to dramatically cut down your recovery time.
Taking a proactive, much more direct approach to your ankle sprain treatment can get you back up and walking again within a very short amount of time – usually within the same week. Once they’ve gone through our ACT rehabilitation program, many clients have reported seeing phenomenal results fast, and being able to walk again – pain-free – within about a week, sometimes less.
Proper Initial Treatment is Very Important
When dealing with an ankle sprain, you’ll have three common symptoms to keep up with. Pain and swelling will most likely occur, while bruising may play a smaller role, or not appear at all. This will all depend on the amount of force that was applied to your ankle during your injury.
Before you can move onto retraining your balance and re-strengthening your ankle, you’ll need to spend time initially treating your injury by first containing the swelling, and then beginning to reduce it. Following the RICE protocol – which stands for rest, ice, compression, and elevation – is a good idea for the first and second day or your recovery.
After this point, self-massage and contrast therapy should be introduced to help get rid of the remaining swelling in your ankle. By staying on top of things, you can dramatically speed up your recovery time, and also greatly reduce your risk of future injury by following the proper techniques during this period of healing.
Ankle Sprain Rehabilitation
When you’ve got your swelling down to a manageable level, it’s now time to work in range-of-motion movements, slight stretches, balance re-training techniques, as well strength training exercises. The progression of these exercises and methods should be setup to allow you to heal efficiently and recover, before moving onto the next phase.
Due to the complex nature of a comprehensive, yet easy-to-follow ankle rehab program, we’ve simplified the entire process by creating ACT, an online, at-home rehab program that you can get started with instantly.
