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.

    Ik nam contact op over mijn hardloop blessure en kon de volgende dag al terecht. Een goed werkende behandeling gekregen en het was heel flexibel met plannen van vervolgafspraken. Top!

  • I booked an appointment with Oliver following a bike crash that left me with a hip contusion. The fact that he came to my house is a massive plus as I couldn't walk at the time. He was very professional and friendly and came with everything you would need for a session. He did a careful intake and got straight on with the therapy, at the end he left me with exercises and within a couple of days I was able to walk again. Excellent service, could not recommend him more!!!

    I went to Olivier when I was experiencing pelvic floor discomfort after childbirth. After one session, there was a significant improvement already! He gave me exercise instructions to help fix the issue in longterm and so far I feel better than before. Thank you Olivier!

    Google Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of receiving treatment from Olivier, a fantastic physiotherapist who offers home visits in Amsterdam. I was visiting my family for a month when I tweaked my shoulder while traveling. Despite my last-minute request, Olivier accommodated me promptly and scheduled follow-up sessions as well. Olivier is incredibly competent and professional. He arrived at our 4th-floor walk-up with his massage table without any issues. His treatments, including dry needling, were highly effective in releasing my very tense muscles. After just one session, I felt a significant improvement. I highly recommend Olivier from Fysio2You for both emergency and non-emergency physio sessions, as well as sports massages. Whether you're a traveler or a local, you can trust him to provide excellent care. Thank you, Olivier, for making my stay in Amsterdam so much better!

  • Als privé-arts heb ik meerdere cliënten naar Olivier verwezen. Olivier is kundig, betrouwbaar én discreet. Hij begrijpt als geen ander wat service en doelgericht handelen is. Vandaag had ik zélf zijn diensten nodig. Zowel als verwijzer als patiënt kan ik hem van harte aanbevelen.

    Olivier is a great Physio who comes to your home. He is professional and friendly and I would recommend him fully. He treated me 1 week post partum and really helped my sore neck!

    Mom injured her hamstring on first day of our holiday in Amsterdam and couldn’t walk at all. Doctor recommended fysio for same day but none were available. Luckily, we found Oliver! He met us at our rental same day and worked with her until she was able to walk pain free with crutches. Holiday rescued! Great communication, quick response, thorough exam and treatment. We are so thankful!
