    Ankle Sprains Thorngate

    Causes of an Ankle Sprain 

    Ankle Sprains Thorngate

    • Have you misjudged a step and rolled your ankle while walking or running? 
    • Have you landed on another person’s foot while playing basketball, netball, football, or soccer? 
    • Did you notice a popping or cracking sound? 
    • Is your ankle stiff and swollen with bruising, causing discomfort when standing or walking? 

    Ankle sprains are very common at SA Running Injury Clinic .. we encounter them frequently. 

    As previously noted, ankle sprains are often caused by runners or walkers misjudging a step or landing on an uneven surface. In sports, it commonly results from changing direction or landing on another player's foot. 

    Initially, you may find it hard to walk or stand and might need strapping, crutches, or a walking boot. Severe cases can involve a fracture. Sadly, an ankle sprain can raise the risk of respraining by 40 – 70%. Persistent ankle pain and stiffness, known as Sinus Tarsi Syndrome, may also develop. 

    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
