Sprained Ankle

A sprained ankle is caused by a sudden twist inwards of the foot. This form is the most common. But it is also possible to get a sprained ankle caused by sudden twist outwards of the foot. With this form, the chances of severe injury are higher. The ligames get stretch or torn. As a result, the ankle will swell up. There is a chance that the ankle is broken. If you can not take a couple of steps, the ankle could be broken. But if you are able to take a couple of steps, the ankle is probably not broken. Therefore, always get your ankle checked out by a specialist. The specialist can decide if a photo/scan is necessary. Do not forget to cool the ankle right away. This way you will counteract the swelling.

 

 

Physiotherapy and a sprained ankle:
As soon as you sprain your ankle, you can go to the physiotherapist. First, the physiotherapist will determine if a photo is necessary. If this is not the case, he will recommend to give the ankle 5 days of rest. In this period it is recommend to cool the ankle regularly. Second, the physiotherapist will make a treatment plan. First he will focus on reduction of the swelling, than the recovery of the mobility and at last the training of stability and strength. After recovering of a sprained ankle, the chances of getting one again are higher. That is why good treatment is necessary!

What happens when you sprain your ankle?
If you sprain your ankle, your foot twist inwards or outwards. This can happen by misplacing your foot. When this happens, the ligaments stretch or tear. Also there is a slight change of a fracture. Afterwards the ankle will begin to swell up. If you get treated well, it can take 12 weeks before you can exercise again.

  • I had a major problem with my back after an injury playing rugby. I wasn’t able to move without severe pain. After calling Olivier he was at my house within 30 minutes. After putting me into some stretches and massaging parts of my back for mobility, I instantly felt better. He also gave me some easy to follow stretches to help movement over the following few days. Lastly, Olivier messaged every day to check on my progress. He’s a true professional and a really nice guy - I highly recommend him.

    This is the kind of customer-centric business that you are happy exists, especially when you are in pain and can't leave the house. I contacted them via Whatsapp for an emergency session, and Oliver was at my place two hours later. He was friendly, professional and kind. He massaged my twisted ankle, bandaged it, and gave me his recommendations for the next few days.

  • Tijdens een Thaise sport massage heeft er een masseur net iets te hard kracht gezet op mijn onderrug (toen zij erover heen liep..), en hierdoor kon ik paar dagen later amper lopen. Gelukkig had Olivier diezelfde dag nog tijd om mij te behandelen met dry-needling. En dit had fantastisch resultaat! Dank voor de goede service en tot snel.

    Nadat ik op zondagochtend wakker werd met een helse pijn in mijn schouder was ik met spoed op zoek naar een fysiotherapeut, die ervaring heeft met dry needling. In mijn zoektocht kwam ik Fysio2You tegen. Ik stuurde Olivier een berichtje en binnen 20 minuten stond hij bij mij op de stoep. Ik heb een hele goede behandeling gehad, die mijn klachten verlichtte. Ik kan Olivier van harte aanbevelen!

    Faidon is a wizard! It was my first “back incident” and I was at a total loss. After an urgent appointment request, Faidon was in touch and at my place within the hour. In another hour my back underwent a complete transformation. Plus he taught me taught me some exercise basics to strengthen everything moving forward. He was also a fun guy to work with and made me feel super comfortable about the whole situation.
