How it works

Progressive exercises restore the neuromuscular control and joint awareness lost following ligament injury. Balance training reduces re-injury risk. Strength training protects the healing ligament from re-sprain.

Incomplete rehabilitation is the most common cause of chronic ankle instability. Full rehabilitation — not just pain resolution — is essential before return to sport. Medicare-rebated under GPMP.

Finding a practitioner

Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
