Ankle injuries can occur any time of the year. A bad ankle sprain is typically treated with Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation (RICE). You may be prescribed crutches to minimize weight bearing and start rehab with range of motion exercises within 72 hours of the injury.
This blog identifies several exercises you can do to strengthen your ankle. You can find these exercises (and many more) in the Ankle & Foot category in the PT-Helper mobile app to add to your Favorites which allows you to customize each exercise’s repetitions, sets, and hold time. You can also set up 3 daily reminders to notify you when to do your exercises.
Reminder: Please consult your physician or physical therapist before engaging in any physical activity and stop if you experience pain or discomfort.

You can also use PT-Helper's mobile app camera feature
to record your patients doing their exercises while giving verbal cues on how to do it properly. Since these pictures or videos are not exported by PT-Helper, they will remain private on the patient’s phone. These pictures and videos remain attached to the patient's prescribed exercises so that they are easy to find and view before doing their exercises.Low Back Stretches
