@drjacob_: Phase 1 ankle sprain recovery. Be sure to read the onscreen text for some great info on this routine. One major point: Ice/cryotherapy has been evidenced to delay the healing phase related to orthopedic injuries. There actually hasn’t ever been evidence to support the theory that ice reduces inflammation. Ice CAN help with pain however, so if you do feel like it helps you with pain, go for it. But no need to ice routinely with the goal to reduce inflammation. We actually need some inflammation to take its course. That’s how we heal. Your body, if we let it do its thing, can heal itself. There are things we can do to promote and accelerate the healing phase, like the movements and exercises in this post. But stopping the inflammatory process isn’t something we advise in PT. Let’s remember, there are SOME instances where reducing inflammation through medicinal means is necessary, but always go for the most conservative approach first👌 Who needs a part 2? #anklesprain #sprainedankle #anklesprainrehab #anklepain
