About the Condition

What It Is & Why It Happens

Up to 40% of ankle sprains lead to chronic instability if not rehabilitated properly. That 'rolled ankle' you treated with rest and an ice pack at home may explain why your ankle keeps giving way years later.

Modern ankle rehab is structured, progressive and based on criteria — not time. Done well, you'll come out with an ankle stronger than before.

Recovery outlook: 4–6 weeks for most acute sprains; 8–10 weeks for chronic instability rehab.

Common Causes

  • Awkward landing in sport or stairs
  • Walking on uneven surfaces
  • Old untreated sprain history
  • Weak peroneal and calf muscles
  • Poor proprioception (sense of joint position)
  • High-heeled or unsupportive footwear
