Ankle pain can occur due to a number of causes including sporting injuries such as ligamnet sprains and strains, tendonitis and athritis.

 

The ankle needs to be examined to determine if it is a ligament, muscle/tendon or joint problem.

 

Treatment can include:

- Hands-on treatment such as massage/soft tissue techniques to reduce swelling

- Strapping if required

- Mobilising/stretching exercises to improve movement

- Strengthening exercises to assist rehabilitation and prevent further injury, including balance exercises

- Modalities to reduce pain and swelling
