Your physical therapist can help speed your recovery from an ankle sprain by decreasing your inflammation and swelling with modalities and education on compression wraps and braces. Your physical therapist can also start exercises to increase your dynamic ankle stability that will help decrease the frequency and severity of future ankle sprains.
