Physiotherapy & Ankle Injuries
If your ankle seems to be sore all the time and is not recovering in terms of pain or discomfort, chances are you either sprained or strained your ankle at some point throughout the day/night.
Most people are under the impression that both sprains and strains are the same thing and that the words are used interchangeably.
This is demonstrably false, as there are many differences between the two.
Here at York Rehab Clinic, we would like to go into detail about ankle injuries involving strains and sprains, and why it is a good idea to undergo physiotherapy with this injury.
What Does The Treatment Entail?
Physiotherapy for ankle injuries will commonly include targeted stretching & workout techniques.
Some other treatment options include ultrasound, heat therapy and massage.
No matter your type of knee, foot or ankle injury, chances are physiotherapy can help in some way.
Expert physicians (like the ones here at York Rehab Clinic) will analyse your injury/site of pain & discomfort to determine the best treatment possible.
Treatments can vary depending on the area & severity of said injury.
How Can You Sustain an Ankle Injury?
The symptoms of sprains and strains are similar in most cases, which is often why people get the two words confused with one another.
The main difference in symptoms is that sprains will normally show up with bruises on the skin, whereas strains will not.
Some common reasons why you may sustain an ankle injury include:
- Repetitive motion
- Sports activities
- Lifting heavy objects/weights
- Slipping/falling
- Overworking yourself
It is extremely important to warm up before any sort of exercise in order to reduce your chances of getting an ankle injury.
When you are working out or doing a sports activity, always be sure you are aware of your surroundings. If you are tired or not fully focused, it is best to take a mental break and wait until you can be fully immersed in what you are doing.
This will also reduce the risk of running into something, slipping or falling due to a simple mistake.
