    Ankle Sprains Joslin

    Causes of an Ankle Sprain 

    Ankle Sprains Joslin

    • Have you misjudged a step and rolled your ankle while walking or running? 
    • Was it due to landing on another person’s foot during basketball, netball, football, or soccer? 
    • Did you notice a popping or cracking sound? 
    • Is your ankle stiff from swelling and bruising, making it uncomfortable to stand or walk? 

    At SA Running Injury Clinic, we often see and treat ankle sprains .. they are quite common. 

    Typically, as stated above, ankle sprains occur when a runner or walker misjudges a step or lands on an uneven surface. In sports, it happens due to sudden direction changes or landing on another competitor’s foot. 

    At first, walking or standing may be difficult, and you might need strapping, crutches, or a walking boot. In severe cases, there could be a fracture. Unfortunately, spraining your ankle once increases the likelihood of respraining by 40 – 70%. You might also experience ongoing ankle pain and stiffness, known as Sinus Tarsi Syndrome. 

    We have a 5 Phase Rehabilitation Program:

    Phase One:

    • Reduce Pain and Control Swelling. This is done via RICER
    • Rest
    • Ice
    • Compression
    • Elevation

    Phase Two:

    • Restore Range of Motion
    • Massage
    • Stretching regime of exercises

    Phase Three:

    • Regain Muscle Strength
    • Strengthening regime of Calf, Ankle, and Foot

    Phase Four:

    • Correct Foot Posture
    • Ankle sprains can be caused by a foot that ‘rolls out’. The Sinus Tarsi Syndrome Condition can be caused by a foot that ‘rolls in’

    Phase Five:

    • Restore Agility, Speed, Power and Proprioception
    • Exercises to restore your sports specific movements
