Ankle sprains & Achilles tendinopathy — physiotherapy
From acute sprains to persistent Achilles pain, we build phased, progressive plans to help you return to running, sport and daily life—safely and confidently.
Assessment: mechanism of injury, irritability, load tolerance, balance and hop tests.
Progression: objective strength targets (e.g., single-leg calf raises), pain-monitoring rules.
Safety: red-flag screening; imaging/specialist referral when indicated.
Your plan, phase by phase
- Settle & protect: swelling control, gait tweaks, protected loading (not full rest).
- Restore range: ankle mobility, calf flexibility, foot intrinsics.
- Strength & balance: calf raises (straight/bent), peroneals, hip control, balance progressions.
- Return-to-run: plyo prep, graded run/walk, change of direction and sport specifics.
Inversion sprains
Recurrent sprains
Mid-portion & insertional Achilles
FAQs
Should I rest completely?
Generally no—most ankle and tendon problems improve faster with the right amount of load. We help calibrate this safely.
How long does recovery take?
Sprains often improve within weeks; Achilles tendinopathy typically needs 8–12+ weeks of consistent loading for durable change.
Will I get a home plan?
Yes—brief, targeted exercises you can realistically stick to, updated at each review.
