• Ankle injuries can become stressful to deal with.
  These injuries get in the way of mobility and
  make regular functions and movements difficult.
  Knowing how to deal with ankle injuries would
  help you to fix your ankle fast and get back to
  your regular life.
• Types of Ankle Injuries
• Ankle injuries are caused due to the ankle moving
  at a weird angle, where the tendons overlap each
  other, thereby causing painful sensations. There
  are two types of ankle sprains/injuries
• Eversion Sprain This kind of sprain affects the
  inward tendons and ligaments. You could probably
  feel this in the arch of your foot as well.
• Inversion Sprain This happens due to the outward
  roll of your ankle, which affects the outward
  ligaments and tendons of your foot.

• Ankles are complex joints, which is why a person
  has to be careful with them. If you are
  recovering from an ankle injury, you need to
  understand that your focus should be on the range
  of motion, flexibility, mobility, balance and
  strength of your ankle.
• The following are some exercises to recover from
  an ankle injury
•  Ankle Therapy Wrap

5

• This is one of the most effective ways of fixing
  an ankle injury or sprain. One of the primary
  requirements for healing an injured ankle is to
  rest your ankle. Using an ankle wrap would help
  you rest your ankle and reduce strain on an
  already injured ankle.
• Ankle Therapy Wrap can be used easily. All you
  have to do is wrap it around your ankle. Keep in
  mind that you dont have to wrap it too tight or
  too loose. Also, use ointments or pain relief
  sprays to increase the efficacy. Remember to wash
  your ankle wraps after use.
• RICE
• RICE is an abbreviation for Rest, Ice,
  Comprehension and Exercise. This method allows
  you to improve your ankles overall range of
  mobility, as well as helps you get rid of the
  pain. RICE and PRICE can be used together, as
  PRICE is to use a protecting strategy first.

• In other words, both these methods can be used
  simultaneously. One of the most important things
  to do and keep in mind is that you need to
  protect your ankle in the initial moments of
  injury. Experts suggest that one should not move
  their ankle much during the first day.
• The Balance between Rest and Activity
• You must balance your activities and rest.
  Resting all the time will not help you to improve
  your ankle. Whether you use PRICE or ankle
  therapy wrap, you need to understand that rest
  and activity go hand in hand.
• For the first couple of days, try to get as much
  rest as possible. Then, try to move your ankle a
  little. Go ahead with ankle rotations and try to
  move your feet in an up and down fashion to test
  your mobility. Do not push yourself if your
  exercises hurt your ankles.

• With that said, ice packs can help you limit the
  pain. Make use of ice packs for twenty-minute
  slots in the first 72 hours to ease the pain.
  However, ice packs do not work for those who
  suffer from diabetes, vascular diseases or have
  damage to the peripheral nervous system.
• Although ankle injuries can be self-treated with
  exercise and ice packs, if you see unusual
  swelling, deformity or experience heavy
  discomfort, you should go see a doctor. In some
  cases, when injuries are mild, anti-inflammatory
  pills may help you to get rid of the discomfort.
