Ankle sprains and injuries are perhaps the most common sporting injury we see. Footwear that is appropriate for both your selected sport AND your foot type. Strapping techniques and ankle braces can also be used in the short term but an ankle rehabilitation and strengthening program can prevent injuries from reoccurring in the future. And let’s not forget, a thorough warm-up and cool-down is also very important!

This will depend on the specific activity you are engaging in and your fitness level. As a minimum, you should take 5 minutes to activate and engage the muscle groups you will be using. You should also take time to elevate your heart rate and prepare your cardiovascular system.
