Ankle Injury Rehab

Your ankle joint is a vital part of your body, and sometimes you don’t realize this until you injure it! Luckily, ankle injury rehab can help you get your ankle to feel better! Physical therapy is a necessary part of the healing process to ensure your ankle is fully healed before going back to your normal activities. Even something as minor as a sprain can benefit from an ankle injury rehab program. Here’s how Activity First Physical Therapy can help you rehab your ankle.

Rehab Your Ankle Based On Your Unique Situation

Since ankle injuries can vary vastly from person to person, your treatment plan must be geared specifically to you. The rehab plan will not only be built around your type of injury. The team at Activity First PT will also consider factors like your body type, the type of physical activities the ankle will need to handle, and much more.

Help You Pace Yourself

While it can be extremely frustrating to have limited mobility, it’s important not to push your ankle too far while you’re healing. Be patient. With consistent work, you will see the progress; you just have to go at your own pace. The team at Activity First can help you do this! There is no set timeline for recovery from an ankle injury, and treatment periods vary from weeks to months, depending on your circumstances.

Monitor Your Progress and Pain Management

To ensure you are on the right track, the team at Activity First PT will monitor your progress. For instance, this can include ensuring you’re not in too much discomfort. Be sure to let your therapist know when you’re experiencing pain or discomfort.

Provide Guidance Beyond Your Physical Therapy Appointments

Along with your rehab appointments, your therapist may give you stretches or exercises to do at home. Every exercise or stretch is designed to help the healing process and help you regain your mobility as quickly as possible. The more engaged you are in your healing process, the faster you’ll be back on your feet.
