Ankle Sprain Treatment Melbourne
Fast, effective treatment for ankle sprains and ligament injuries. Recover quicker, prevent recurrence, and return to sport with confidence.
Why Choose Injury Active
Ankle sprains are the most common sports injury — but they're also one of the most undertreated. Too many people "walk it off" and end up with chronic ankle instability, recurrent sprains, and long-term pain.
At Injury Active Clinic, we take ankle sprains seriously from day one. Our physiotherapists provide a thorough assessment to grade your sprain, rule out fractures, and build a personalised rehabilitation programme that gets you back to full function — whether that's returning to sport, work, or simply walking pain-free.
Types & Grades
The most common type — caused by rolling the ankle inward (inversion), stretching or tearing the ATFL, CFL, or PTFL ligaments on the outer ankle.
Less common — caused by rolling the ankle outward (eversion), affecting the deltoid ligament on the inner ankle. Often associated with other injuries.
Injury to the syndesmosis (the ligaments connecting the tibia and fibula above the ankle joint). Takes longer to heal than a standard lateral sprain.
Repeated ankle sprains or inadequate rehabilitation leading to persistent weakness, giving way, and a feeling of instability during activity.
Stretching or tearing of the peroneal tendons on the outer ankle, often occurring alongside a lateral ankle sprain.
Damage to the cartilage and underlying bone of the ankle joint, which can occur with severe sprains and cause persistent deep ankle pain.
Treatment Options
Manual therapy, taping, balance retraining, and progressive rehabilitation to restore full ankle function.
