Ankle Sprain is one of the most common conditions we treat at Activ Therapy. Understanding the underlying cause is the first step towards lasting relief. Our practitioners take the time to properly assess your condition before beginning any treatment — because the right diagnosis leads to the right treatment.

Proper rehabilitation is essential to prevent chronic instability. Our physiotherapists guide you through a staged rehabilitation program: acute management (RICE, taping), mobility restoration, progressive strengthening, balance and proprioception training, and sport-specific return-to-activity.
Grade 1 sprains recover in 1–2 weeks. Grade 2 sprains take 3–6 weeks. Grade 3 (complete ligament tears) require 6–12 weeks of rehabilitation. Chronic instability may require surgery followed by 3–6 months of post-operative rehabilitation.
Your practitioner takes a detailed history and performs a thorough physical examination to identify the root cause of your condition.
We explain your diagnosis in plain language and outline a clear treatment plan with realistic goals and an expected timeline.
