Ideas about recuperating from a sprain

Me too, I want to know.

Funny how we all follow the RICE method but seem to forget the Rest part ! I always go back to things way too soon.

A good idea is to alternate between heat and cold. The cold reduces swelling obviously but followed by heat promotes healthy bloodflow.

I did my ankle more times than I could count back in my basketball days, I never rested it, (didn't rest any of my injuries). But this just made it worst on myself, it got weak as hell and probably still isn't right to this day.

If it's still swollen, go get it checked out. I've had a friend roll his at footy and had a bone chip of, the fragment of which was slowly cutting into his tendons and had to have an operation to fix it.

Other than that, strap/ice and rest it as much as possible after each training. Good luck with it mate

Chris as I said get a Bucket fill it 3/4 with sand put a soccer Ball on top. Know get in a position where the knee is 90 degrees to the foot sitting down if you can. Put your Bare Foot on the ball, pushing slightly down to start. You start pushing the ball with the sole back and forward side to side. When you get use to it start making a figure 8 with your big toe by using the sole of the Foot moving on the Ball, great exercise.

That's sounds like a great exercise to do while the ankle is getting better.

I have been swimming a lot and that has been good for the ankle also running on sand.

That sounds good. You can also use hot water and a heat pad to help it heal.
