WHAT IS AN ANKLE SPRAIN?
You have 3 major ligaments on the outside of your ankle and one major ligament on the inside of your ankle. Collectively, they “hold” your ankle onto your lower leg bones and ensure proper alignment and function.
A “sprain” happens when these ligaments are stretched and/or torn due to some external force (most typically an accident or injury).
The majority ankle sprains happen to the outside of the ankle in what we would call an “inversion" ankle sprain (also known as “rolling your ankle”).
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF AN ANKLE SPRAIN?
A sprain typically results in localized and focused pain in the area of the affected ligament, limited and painful motion in the ankle, decreased strength, and decreased tolerance to activities involving the ankle like standing, walking, and running.

Soccer tournament out of town when fighting for the soccer ball in 2019
I have a sprained ankle and now it's been 4 weeks I'm waiting for swelling to come off but my foot isn't moving properly. Tried ankle ABC but couldn't able to do that.
Fell down on the last step of
The stairs😩🫣
@@brittknee5617 I missed 2 steps. Been trying to recover since Thanksgiving 2023. Wish I would have started PT sooner but with Kaiser they just xray and set me up a month late. I have limited range motion
@@maymontana6932 How soon after the injury should you begin massage and stretching exercises?
Every time I have injury or need any exercise to fix pain in body, I comes down to your videos and it always helps. Thank you for being there
You are so kind! Thank you!
Hi, I broke my fibula in my ankle a month ago, and the X-ray confirmed the fracture. My orthopedic surgeon suggested either surgery or natural healing, and I chose the natural way by resting my ankle. After one week, an X-ray showed a 10% heal, and I was told to return in four weeks. I'm still waiting for that visit and feeling worried as I have some pain. I bought the iWalk after watching your helpful videos about ankle injuries, and it has been a great aid. Thank you for the videos, and congratulations on your success in Chennai. Keep up the great work!
i sprained it doing the irish jig on saint patricks day 😅🤣
How soon after the injury should you begin massage and stretching exercises?
this exercises are great! few days in and already so much improvement
Wonderful news and thanks for sharing!
Hello, I've sprained/torn ligaments in both my ankles so many times over the last 20+ years 🤦🏽♀and have always done pretty much exactly what your video says to do.
I was just curious about how soon after first injuring an ankle do you recommend doing these exercises? I'm wondering if I've been waiting too long or not long enough.
Hey hi, i'm so happy to find this video. To answer your question, i might have heard somthing crack like 10 year ago doing a front flip, now when i run i got this feeling right at the spot you spoked today. can't wait to put these exercises at work. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video!
Thank you so much, @user-ow9jy8ss8u! I hope these things help you, and thanks for commenting!
i was stepping off the curb.....😂
Me too
Same 🤦🏻♂️
Literally walked out my Aunts house and landed on the side of my ankle instead of the bottom of my foot🤣🤣. It’s excruciating😂
I was just standing
My friend bumped into my shoulder, ended up tearing 3 ligaments lmao ☠
Thanks bro i am feeling better
Hi . What do you recommand for an ankle sprain that hurt years later ? Thank you.
Hi, thank you for the great video! I was playing volleyball with my daughter in the backyard and rolled my ankle very hard, you could hear a crunching sound when I landed. These exercises are extremely helpful! Thanks again 👍🏼
Glad it was helpful!
I broke ankle in 2020. I'm 75 now and still have issues with numbing in foot and now mild pain going up the leg. Don't know an exercise to help that area of my leg. I massage all areas every day. Physical therapy has helped some. I have that exact green strap! TY!!
Oh I'm sorry to hear about your pain, @victoriab9842! My mind goes to the 3-way ankle exercises with the band and the heel raises if you can do them safely. Increasing strength is one of the best things you can do for chronic pain. Good luck and thanks for commenting!
At what point do you start doing the exercises? Or even the massaging? My daughter sprained her ankle really bad. About a baseball size swelling. Thanks!
Hi Awesome Video.
For the friction, exercises and strech how soon can i do them ? 1 week, 2 week ?
or as soon as possible or as soon as the inflammation reduce ?
After a high jump, i landed off the curb ,and my right foot completely planted, but my body feel completely over on it's right side. Right before I hit the ground, there was a very loud pop, and it was excruciating. It's been 8 months, and I'm still dealing with it. Partial tear on the right side, with some micro tears on the left side of that ankle. I went to rehab for a while, then bought my own gear to do it at home. I was getting stronger, but still stiff. 2 weeks ago, I tripped and naturally, it was on the same ankle. Felt another little pop. Nowhere as bad as the first, but 'm currently nursing it. Sucks to trip up (literally and figuratively). I can walk, but not run in the least bit. Great videos! I'm glad I found them.
I hope you feel better soon!
Is this ok to do the day after your sprain? I really want to do whatever it takes to get healed as soon as possible. It’s a minor sprain that I got this time but it’s on the ankle that I had a severe sprain in 2022.
Do you have the link for the brace?
I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago. When should i start doing these exercises?
Can you tell me about ankle break symptoms sir ?
Hello..... Please make video on the exercises that's need to be after decompression surgery of hip due to AVN of hip joint. Thank you
Great suggestion! I'll see what I can do!
Just sprained my ankle walking in a parking lot. A small rock took me out in hiking boots. I'm totally incapacitated at the moment. Good times!
Same
I fell off my slippery pourch about a year a go and tore the outer ligament. I still have chronic pain to the point that its very difficult for me to get around. I try stretching but it doesnt help much. I have EDS which makes me hyper flexable anyway. How can i regain strength and mobility in my ankle? I work at a job where im on my feet at most 6 hours straight. The pain is very bad at times. Almost like a hot burning pain. Sometimes when i sit for 20 min or more and get up i cant and have to ease into it. I have a big pain tolerance but this is not healing right and i dont know how to help it get there. Also im very interested in your brace, where did you get it from?
Great video, definitely better than what the Ortho showed me to do, given I injured it again! First time I was walking my dogs and one of them went behind me and then took off after something. Her leash knocked me off my feet. Dog was in big trouble and she knew it!
Hey.. I m from India.. what kind of tablates good for nerve problem caused by cirvical pain
I’ve seen a couple comments asking when the best time to start these exercises. I know you said 2-4 weeks but could it be started earlier or would that cause issues for healing. Thank you for your help I sprained my ankle two days ago rock climbing and am itching to get healed up.
Is it helpful to do the "ABC" exercise or the stretches 4 weeks into a sprain? Or is that too late?
Right ankle: Football multiple times, Army section training (twisted my ankle and rolled off a cliff, boots saved my ankle), road unevenness, etc. All ATFL.
Just started having issues from walking a lot in my job. Can't find shoes with enough padding, so my left ankle seems weak and turns outward. Pain on left side of left foot and cramping in muscle above the inner left ankle. Went to foot and ankle specialist but can't find anything wrong with it.
I stepped in a little pot hole with heels on! Mine didn’t show any fractures in the X-ray but it’s swollen and bothers me …. Is it ok to do these while it’s still swollen?. I have no problem walking on it! Just hope the swelling goes down soon. Thanks for the video!
When is the best time to start these excersices after the legment torn?
Playing tag at recess with my 2nd grade...9 days in today...orthopedic appointment Monday
I injured my ankle 2 weeks ago playing airsoft in the woods.y foot landed on a hard root and bent my coot strait back. Not rolled side to side but front to back. My toes pointed strait up and felt like a ankle roll. Ive got swelling on the side that seems like fluid. No bruising but painful and uncomfortable. How should i treat this
Can you provide a link or brand/model of the ankle support you mentioned?

Should I continue to ice after three months of sprain? I was told to maybe use heat.
Sir, I have undergone tendo achilles surgery on my left leg on May 2023 and I am still not able to recover and have slight pain. sir give me many remedies.
Iam in kerala india, i am addicted your videos. Very useful videos. Please add vericose vein relief videos
Thank you so much!
Should you still be doing RICE when you start doing the mobility, stretching, and strength exercises? (Also I still have some swelling so I'm curious about exercises)
I injured my ankle just by doing a sit squat (kind of like an asian squat but with your heels elevated) 2 months ago and I wasn't even exercising, just needed get low. It swelled really bad the next day, I did the R.I.C.E. and got better. It's a lot better now but I'm still experiencing some pain when I'm at work which requires a lot of time on my feet. Walking is not a problem but standing for long periods is the one that causes the most pain which I feel on the inner side of my foot and inner ankle. I looked it up and what I probably have is Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome?
What exercises would you recommend for that?
I'm really glad I came across your channel! Thank you for all the helpful content!
Thank you for this video 🙏 just had a severe sprain while on vacation in Italy transferring boats a few weeks ago. I was recommended PT and I’m so grateful you are giving this information out for free! Your videos are the best I’ve found.
My pleasure! I am glad you found it helpful and appreciate your support.
my ankle is hurting well. I can't even move it for exercising. tell me if it is broke or can be get well at home
Hi Dr. Jared, my left side lower body (left torso down) is quite reasonably stronger/ bigger than the right side lower body. What could be possible reasons and how can I fix this?
P.S. I am right handed also I notice my left leg is longer than my right could this play any part?
In short terms, muscle imbalance. Help!!
How many days should I rest?
Should I stop walking for a few days?
i got injured when i was having a badminton training session. we were still in the warmup phase which was kinda embarrassing to be honest but i kept up thanks to god😂❤
Fell off the back porch yesterday. Stepped down and missed the step ! 😤
Leg amputee here.. left leg removed.. rolled foot forward and essentially stepped on the top of my foot days go. Yesterday I relaxed it all day and night. This morning I can't put any weight on it. Why is it worse after not using?
I got injured while playing soccer,I twisted my leg with ground ,i got injured before 3 months, still i have pain when I shoot the football or press that part,is this the right video?
I was doing pirouettes en pointe and totally over shot arms which I caught myself by rolling over my ankle, happened today and I’m supposed to go to an intensive in a week😜
Hi, I sprained my ankle pretty bad 9 days ago, it swelled up a lot straight away I’m thinking grade 3 strain , can I do these exercises now or Isit too soon? Thanks
hey how's your ankle now? i had the exact symptoms as you. its been almost a month for me now.
Maybe you can help me… I had a high impact injury to left foot … (adrenaline-fueled running up stone stairs -thought I heard a bear😅) my foot slammed into the front edge of rock step. X-rays and Ct scan showed 4th and 5th(avulsion) metatarsal fractures … in boot for 3 weeks now, swelling mostly gone, pain never has been that bad…BUT my foot is still almost a solid inch longer than the other now!!!! The doc did not seem concerned and felt maybe I just never noticed it before🤦🏼♀️ I’m worried.
I was skipping rop doing some tricks with new schoes, i never had such an injury in the duration of 3 years in jumprope so I guess the schoes were not good enough
When i was shooting in basketball practice.😊
I hope you feel better soon!
My ankle sprain has been gone for 30 days and I am on bed rest for 2 weeks. Now when I move, there is 20% swelling with some pain. What should I do, is this normal?
I injured my ankle 4 months ago. Rolled off my sandal on the beach. Ankle painful on inside of four. Please help. Is it scar tissue
I slipped and slid backwards at the top of the Slip Wall obstacle at a Spartan Race! Totally worth it, but I’m ready to train again!
Feel better soon!
While doing High Jump
I sprained mine putside of the bar last night
why after ankle sprain the calf has swollen few days later? Is it normal?
I kicked a dumpster door open and as my foot retracted I slightly lost my balance and my kicking foot tipped my planted foot and I’ve been in pain since. This is day 3 .. I’m not sure if it was the kick of the door or the landing afterwards. However, thank you for sharing this information.
I hope this helps!
My son hurt his ankle last night stepping on somebody else’s fit in a basketball game. We’re going to the doctor this afternoon to see if it’s broken or not. How soon can He start these exercises if it’s not?
Oddly enough, I literally woke up to what feels like a sprained ankle. I got out of bed and could barely walk 🤷♀️ no idea how that happens, but it's been difficult getting around for weeks 😢😢
When can you start these exercises? My daughter sprained her ankle about a week and a half ago. It’s still slightly swollen, but we are trying to get her healed and back on the volleyball court.
Start now!
Several years ago, maybe a decade, I was at a pool party and some guy jumped in right in front of me, I thought he would land on me. His foot hit the top of my right foot and I have never been the same. Foot swole up twice it’s size and it just kept getting bigger. Went for XRAYs and of course they could not see anything. Went back 2 wks later for XRAYs and still too swollen to see if anything broken. I have NEVER been the same 😑
Oh I'm very sorry to hear that, @rosamoreno4794! The thing about X-rays is that all you can see are bones and alignment. If you sprained a ligament it would not show up unless you had and MRI. Have you ever done any rehab for it? Any exercises? If you try the things in this video I hope they help you! Thanks for commenting.
Was hitting the griddy with my nephew...
What happened to me was that i was in a soccer match, i jumped to head the ball in a 50/50 situation next thing on my landing i landed with my ankle and felt like my calve wanted to shift... it happened two weeks ago and i never did anything expect the fact that i couldn't walk for two days after the incident.
Handstand practice but sprained my foot on landing
I sprained my hiking rolling my ankle four years ago. It’s still in pain daily.
I was walking so much at work to where I sprained mines without realizing it. I got home and my ankle was swollen and painful
I thought I was ok but at night I felt the pain a lot more. I sprained it just like in the pic you showed at first. All I did was step
Got inversion ankle injury when I slipped from first step. I was able to bear full weight from day 1, although with considerable pain. Never used crutches but used knee scotter for 2 months. Now after 3.5 months, looks 80% pain is gone. I get little pain while walking towards end of day. Jared - Shall I start ankle strengthening exercises at this stage?

I sprained my ankle running at altitude
Automotive Technician. Don't have a Tool Box , When I was carrying 60LBS of Gear and a 80LBS Tool Box , I was moving fast and Twisted beyond the usual Limit. Happened this Monday @ 8:05AM....
I was playing football with bunch of friends and while taking a stride to the right to shoot the ball on goal I twisted the ankle. I suppose its because of low mobility of my ankle and its muscles. Its 2nd time I am having this same ankle twisted. I will start with the RICE and all the stretches from today. Hope it gets better and stronger then ever. Thanks for the video.
Just realised I have posted the comment from my wifes account. 😂
