About 5 weeks ago I basically sprained my ankle pretty bad...

It made a loud noise (like a crunch) when I landed on it...Went to A & E and they thought it was fractured..

Luckilly it was just a really bad sprain...I ended up ankle in bandage and on crutches for 2 weeks unable to drive...
The bandages came off and it was bruised and very swollen...

Im able to walk now in flat shoes but I still cant move my ankle as freely as I would like however Im thinking I need to start strenghtening it now and buidling it up...

SO....can any one offer me any advice as to anything I can do to aid the recovery?
I am a member of a gym but obviously not been for a while. I will ask the instructors what they recommend but I might not be able to catch one of them when I go so if I could get some ideas off here then at least I can a little bit until I can speak to someone at gym

Cheers:thumbsup:

Swim - helps to build up strength and flexibility very gently. And while at the pool, walk along in deep water - you get the chance to move the ankle normally but without the full force of your weight on it.

wobble board, mini trampoline, helped me!

RICE

Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

Just keep manipulating it and flexing it to loosen it up,then walk more.
