Ankle injuries account for 10-30% of all sporting injuries and often result in reductions in joint range of motion and relative muscle strength.
If these restrictions aren’t treated, they can lead to chronic ankle problems such as arthritis of the talocrural joint and chronic changes in gait/mobility.
A 2014 study by Loudon JK et al revealed that for acute ankle sprains, manual joint mobilisation techniques increased patient’s ankle dorsiflexion range of motion and reduced pain.
Therefore, the research shows that manual joint mobilisations play a detrimental role in ensuring full recovery from an ankle sprain and to prevent any chronic issues.
Our physiotherapists are skilled in performing manual joint mobilisation.
