Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries in the sporting world and are becoming increasingly common in the non-sporting world too, with many fashionable shoe items now offering less support.

Whilst ankle sprains are usually innocuous injuries, the reoccurrence of these is of great concern. Those who suffer from ‘regular’ ankle sprain occurrences are at a high risk of developing Osteoarthritis or needing ankle surgery for Osteochondral lesions or ankle impingement.  The rehabilitation of any ankle injury has now become even more important than ever.

Bodylogics Ankle Rehabilitation Protocol

Ankle injuries and recovery from surgery require a robust and thorough rehabilitation plan to bring you back to full fitness.  Regardless of what your goal is, we have a team here ready to help you.  From professional footballers through to young children recovering from surgery, our experience and expertise have helped them all to succeed and reach their expected outcome.

We make our time frames and goals clear from the start.  You can view our treatment protocol which is developed and altered each year according to the latest research.  We believe in an open and honest approach and we use these guidelines to give you measureable outcomes which we work with you to achieve.

Your surgeon is also an integral part of our team.  They will often require you to do certain things to give you the best chance of recovery. We work with a large number of surgeons across London and we take special pride in our close relationship we have with them all.  We can’t know every surgeon of course, but once we know who you are working with then we will get to know them very well and very quickly as we know this gives you an even greater chance of succeeding.

We commonly see those who have had boney blocks removed from the ankle as a result of numerous ankle injuries.  This can sometimes be as a result of chronic ankle instability (CAI).  The boney block may sometimes be referred to as ankle impingement and your surgeon will go in and remove the bone causing the block.  This then leads to greater instability at the ankle which has many possible complications as a result.  We work with you to ensure this instability is reversed and that your ankle is as healthy as it can be.

Many people do not have surgery on ankle injuries. Ankle injuries occur very often. There are many reasons for why they occur but the important thing is to understand how we can prevent them from happening again.  It is this prevention rather than cure which is key to successful outcomes.

We make our rehabilitation protocols clear from the start.  We know that successful and great outcomes are made through hard work and effort.  There is never a short cut to effective rehabilitation but we know that your work you complete with us will give you the best chance of longer term success.  It is important to note here too that our guidance is just that, its guidance.  Each individual is unique and some may only need to see us for one session to seek guidance, whereas others may be with us for longer than the guidance states due to other factors beyond the control of everyone, including you as the patient.

It is always hard to find a clinic which fits your needs.  We try to provide as much information as possible before you make your choice.  We want you to be confident that you have made the right choice and we are confident that you will be in good hands with us but we are also aware that it’s not always our word that people will take.  We encourage you to view our Google reviews to see all the feedback we have ever received.  These are honest and open thoughts on how we work and what we stand for.  We hope you’ll find some assurance from these.

We are on hand for first or second opinion help with your final decision.  Our links with various orthopaedic clinics in and around central London mean we work very closely with a large number of these and we regularly meet with future patients to discuss the expected outcomes and to discuss any concerns they may have about their recovery.  We are also renowned for sitting down and meeting with surgeons to ask any questions that you may have missed, with us by your side, to make sure that you have all the answers you need to make the decision which is best for you.  If you wished to book a consultation or to meet speak with a specialist member of our team than please feel free to contact us directly or complete our enquiry form on this page.

We look forward to working with you in the near future.
