Ankle Pain
Acute and recurrent ankle sprains, post-fracture stiffness, chronic instability — we get patients out of the boot and back to running with structured loading plans.
Ankle sprains and recurring instability — why 'rest and ice' isn't enough.
Ankle sprains are the most under-treated injury in sport. People assume they heal on their own — and the pain does fade — but the strength, balance and confidence rarely come back without rehab, which is why so many ankles sprain again and again.
Whether it is an acute sprain, a stubborn post-fracture stiffness, or chronic instability, we restore range first, then rebuild strength and proprioception through structured loading. The end point is not a pain-free ankle on the couch — it is one you can sprint, cut and land on without a second thought.
The root causes we look for.

The disciplines we'll combine.
Every programme braids two or three of our core services. Here's the typical pairing for this condition.
Treatment that actually holds.
Most acute ankle sprains achieve full return to activity within six to ten weeks. Patients with chronic instability from undertreated old sprains take slightly longer — eight to twelve weeks — but the recurrence rate drops substantially with proper peroneal and proprioceptive work.
