Move early, protect briefly
Prolonged rest is the fastest route to a chronically unstable ankle. Within a few days, most athletes should be walking normally and starting range of motion work.
Calf capacity is the missing link
Aim for 25+ single-leg heel raises with good height before returning to running. This single metric is skipped in most ankle rehab.
Balance and hopping
Single-leg balance progressions, then hopping in multiple directions, rebuild the reflexive control that stops a repeat sprain.
