Did you happen to sprain your ankle while working out? While a frustrating setback, with the right approach, you can overcome this injury in a timely manner. Here are some tips to help you recover from your ankle sprain and get back to the gym.

Protect And Elevate

From the moment you get injured, it’s crucial to protect your ankle so that the injury does not get further aggravated. This includes elevating your ankle and keeping weight off of it in order to limit pressure on the area.

Ice The Sprain

Oftentimes, ankle sprains result in inflammation. Not only will ice help to reduce swelling but it will also numb the pain, enabling you to better cope as you take on your day.

Compress

An important part of your recovery is to compress your ankle so as to prevent too much fluid from accumulating at one point. Make sure to keep your ankle firmly bandaged, but not too tight that it prevents you from moving freely.

Improving ankle mobility and strength will not only boost your athletic performance but also prevent some ankle injuries. Here are some easy exercises for preventing ankle injuries that you can do on a daily basis.

Leg Raises

Lift your heels off the ground, squeeze the calves, and hold for only one or two seconds. Repeat this 15 to 20 times and use a chair or a wall for stability if necessary.

Ankle Rolls

Ankle rolls are great for stretching and improving mobility. You can do them sitting on a chair, or even lying on the floor. Slowly roll your ankle in a circle 10 to 15 times, and then repeat the same motion but counterclockwise.

Ankle Alphabet

Remain in the same position as the previous exercise, lift one leg in the air, and try to draw letters of the alphabet with your toes. Do this with both legs in order to improve ankle mobility.

Single-Leg Hops

Just as the name suggests, this exercise is all about hopping on one leg in order to improve ankle strength. Try to keep yourself as steady as possible, and a few inches off the ground is more than enough. Make sure to do 20 repetitions and then switch legs.

Accidents, sprains, and injuries can happen to everyone, no matter what kind of physical activity you’re doing. If you’ve ever experienced an ankle injury you already know how bad and persistent it can be. In order to prevent sprains, you should keep these tips in mind.

Stretching

Stretching exercises are the best way to warm up and cool down your body. They are essential before and after any kind of workout that you do. The best thing is that you can literally do them anywhere, the office, outdoors, and the gym.

Don’t Overdo It

If you ever feel like your ankles are hurting, stop exercising and try to stretch them out. Pushing harder can lead to sprains and injuries. Also, if you’ve been suffering from a previous injury, it’s best that you take it slow and consult a professional.

Sometimes injuries are harder to deal with psychologically and emotionally than they are physically… • The frustration at being unable to do the movements you want to do. • The disappointment at missing out on events you wanted to compete in. • The anxiety over losing the strength you took so long to build up. • The loss of control by not being able to heal structures the way you want or predict when it will be better…as much as I can control my rehab program…I can’t just make my ankle do what I want. • The upset over not being able to rewind the clock and undo all the damage that occurred. • The stress knowing that regardless of how well I do my rehab, my ankle will NEVER be what it was before. • The surreal feeling of confusion as to who you even are anymore…I’m a runner/lifter/poler…what does your identity become when you’re unable to do those things? • The exhaustion of trying to remain positive and motivated when you feel like you fail because rehab is slow and painful! . This picture shows progress…I’m able to generate enough range and supported stability to get into a deep squat on a bosu…but my eyes are cold and lifeless and show my emotion behind this whole process!!! People can see the small improvements in my gait and movement…but nobody can see the amount of work and effort and pain and distress it has taken to achieve such seemingly basic milestones! . Injuries . Just . Suck!!! . #injuriessuck #injuries #injured #ankleinjury #footinjury #14weeks #isitbetteryet #ihateinjuries #sarahtrifogli #physiotherapy #physio #rehab #rehabtraining #rehabilitation #footandanklerehabilitation #ankleandfootrehab #anklerehab #thepainisreal #progressing #tears #frustration #notallfunandgames #actstrong #staystrong

Try Lunges

Lunges are great when it comes to properly activating your whole legs. If you are working out your lower limbs, all types of lunges will help you get those toned legs. Start out slow, then you can take things up a notch by adding split jumps. This is a smart way to prevent an ankle injury.
