Ankle Stability Exercises to help with sprained Ankles and to Strengthen your foot!

Try these ankle exercises to improve your strength and recover more quickly! If the exercises are a little bit uncomfortable – that’s ok, but they should never be painful. If you have a small increase in pain after the exercises, it should not last for longer than 30 minutes to 1 hour. Any increased pain that lingers longer than that is not good, and you should talk to Dr. Steve or Dr. Jenn before continuing! Icing will also be your best friend to help with swelling. Make sure you are covering your ice pack and icing for 20minutes on, 20 minutes off! For more information on icing click here 🙂
