At Physio Pro, we treat ankle injuries, combining hands-on treatment, progressive exercise therapy, and sports-specific programs to restore strength and confidence in your ankle. .
Our physiotherapists manage a wide range of ankle conditions, from acute sprains to long-term degenerative changes. Common ankle injuries include:
Ankle sprains – ligament stretching or tearing caused by rolling or twisting the joint.
Fractures – bone injuries requiring rehabilitation after immobilisation or surgery.
Achilles tendon injuries – tendonitis or tendinopathy causing pain and stiffness in the back of the ankle.
Peroneal tendon injuries – pain and weakness on the outer ankle from overuse or instability.
Chronic ankle instability – recurring sprains or the ankle “giving way” due to weak or stretched ligaments.
Arthritis of the ankle – joint stiffness and pain caused by wear and tear or past injury.
The signs of an ankle injury can vary but often include:
While waiting for treatment or alongside your physiotherapy:
At Physio Pro, ankle taping is one of the most effective techniques we use to support injured or unstable ankles. It plays an important role in both treatment and prevention.
Immediate protection – taping stabilises the joint and reduces the risk of further injury during sport or daily activity.
Pain relief – by supporting the ligaments and tendons, ankle tape helps reduce pain and allows you to move with greater confidence.
Rehabilitation support – taping provides short-term stability while you rebuild ankle strength, mobility, and balance through exercise.
Injury prevention – ideal for athletes and active individuals with a history of repeated ankle sprains or instability.
Our physiotherapists use professional sports taping methods to provide secure support without restricting healthy movement. In some cases, we may also recommend an ankle brace as a longer-term or game-day solution.
Recovery depends on severity. Mild sprains may heal in weeks, while fractures or tendon injuries may require months of structured rehab.
Yes. Even minor sprains can cause long-term instability if not properly rehabilitated. Physiotherapy ensures full recovery and reduces re-injury risk.
A sprain involves damage to ligaments, while a fracture is a break in the bone. A physio can assess your injury and refer you for imaging if needed.
Yes. Physio-applied ankle tape provides stability and support, reducing the risk of re-injury, especially during sport or high-impact activity.
