Effective Ankle Sprain Treatment in Ottawa: Enhance Your Strength and Control

An ankle sprain is a common injury that occurs when the ligaments supporting the ankle are overstretched or torn. This often happens with a sudden twist, awkward landing, or misstep during sports or even in daily life. Depending on the severity, a sprain can range from mild discomfort to significant pain that can prevent you from performing your usual daily movements.

At Kinoveo Physio, we provide expert treatment for ankle sprains to help people across Kanata and Ottawa regain their normal ankle function.

Symptoms and Severity

Symptoms of an ankle sprain may consist of the following: 

​

  • Swelling and bruising around the foot and ankle

  • Pain when walking or bearing weight on the affected leg

  • Stiffness with movements such as going down stairs or deep squat

  • Tenderness around the bones of the ankle 

  • A feeling of weakness or giving way

​

According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, untreated or poorly managed sprains can lead to long-term instability and recurrent injuries.

How Physiotherapy Can Help​

​

To recover from an ankle sprain, a treatment plan is necessary. At Kinoveo Physio, our team builds individualized programs that guide you through every stage, from acute pain reduction to full return to sport, work, or activity.

​

Our treatment approach may include:

  • Hands-on techniques to help with pain and swelling in the early phase

  • Strengthening and range of motion exercises

  • Balance and proprioception retraining to restore stability 

  • Return-to-activity drills specific to your sport, job, or goals

  • Advice on bracing, taping, and future injury prevention

​

As highlighted by Physiopedia, progressive loading and neuromuscular training are crucial for successful ankle sprain rehabilitation.

What to Expect at Kinoveo Physio

​

When you visit our clinic, we’ll begin with a detailed evaluation of your movement, strength, and balance. In an acute situation, we can also help to distinguish if you may have fractured the bones in your foot or ankle, and if so, direct you to the appropriate medical professionals. Once a fracture has been ruled out, we will design a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle and recovery goals.

​

Whether you’re a runner, recreational athlete, or just looking to get back on your feet without pain, our team at Kinoveo Physiotherapy in Kanata is here to help.
