How to Fix A Sprained Ankle (3 STEPS)

“Movement is medicine” is all I’ve heard from PT’s in Europe since I’ve moved from the US, 20 years ago.

I like how he had his shirt off so you could see his ankle properly 😂

Been trying to recover from a sprained ankle from a few weeks ago but kept re-injuring it by accident. Finally decided to focus on stretching and improving mobility and this video couldn’t have come at a better time.

i had ankle sprain on sept. I did bunch of heel raises, single leg balance, and calf stretches. Felt much better. This video proves that once again movement is medicine.

That banded mobilization has helped me get a little more mobility back on a years-old sprain injury, but it's still painful and impinged. Guess I just keep working at it?

Update: been doing this a few more times and while I didn't notice a big difference the first time, and still had a lot of pain the second time, by the third time there was much less pain and much more mobility. It's still not perfectly pain free, but I feel hopeful I'll get there by continuing to repeat this mobilization. 👍🏽👍🏽

I just said yesterday I was going to DM you on sprained ankles lol ! Perfect timing. I use most of your videos for rehabbing my entire body. And they work! I wasn’t far off on my own just listening to my body but I’m no professional and your videos are awesome! ❤

Thank you! I'm glad I found this. Healing from a fractured ankle& it's still wobbly on higher stairs or curbs. Needed some strengthening exercises.

Rolled my ankle for the umpteenth time in July, still can’t do calf raises without pain so will try the last exercise, cheers doc!

I really appreciate your content! It is very motivating, makes sense and answers so many questions I have❤

Mobility bad? Banded mobilization. Have bills? Banded mobilization. Need the answer to life? Banded mobilization.

I've been rolling my ankles since middle school. I always gave myself a few minutes to "walk it off" afterward then would flex and bend it throughout the day to prevent stiffness. Almost as good as new the next day.

I had an ankle sprain recently swelled up pretty bad (grade 1)
Though skeptical at first it does work
Had a medical boot during work, didn’t wanna risk injuring again. When I had every opportunity to move it I did!
Thanks @squatuniversity

First thing I do when I sprain my ankle, rip that shirt off

Hello Doc
I would like to spend a week in your city to work on some the pain that is hindering me from exercising consistently. I had several injuries from wrestling and weight lifting. Please let me know how I can schedule a comprehensive week of addressing my multiple injuries. Thank you!

yo i sprained my ankle a month ago and rested for a week and it has not recovered till now going for physio therapy but seeing very small improvements need some help man

[interabie]

Hey! Thanks for the great video!
I recently suffered a severe ankle sprain. Doc at the walk in clinic told me to wait to swelling is gone before doing physio. Does anyone have any input? I started doing physio last week. The major swelling is gone, but still gets poofy after activity. What should I do?

Stretching the ankles and moving around my feet have felt better

Im convinced a joint mobilisation will fix my failing marriage
