[@USAMogle]

I sprained my ankle while jumping and finally touching the rim,it hurts like crazy,it sucks to not play for this long

[@TheBasketballDoctors]

Sorry to hear. Injuries are unfortunately part of the game, hope you have a speedy recovery and back playing soon!

3 weeks still has a blunt and can't sprint and jump in normal 😢

[@JordanMetcalf23]

At what point in rehab are exercises like this introduced? 4-6 weeks?

[@TheBasketballDoctors]

We typically don't like giving generic time frames because every person is different. A good time to introduce this exercise is after you've completed exercises like single leg squats, lateral/forward lunges, single leg snap downs, and various bounds in isolation, where you've demonstrated good form and no pain.

Sorry to hear that you're going through that! We have numerous videos on our channel, TikTok, and Instagram of ankle rehab exercises. We also have a 4-week ankle sprain program for purchase on our website (thebasketballdoctors.com/ankle-sprain-p-rehab-program), and we will be launching a new program soon!
