09 Feb Did your child 
rolled over on their ankle and you thought that it’s just a simple ankle 
sprain and hoped that the pain would go away in a few days time 
. Instead 3 weeks later, your child is still struggling to walk without pain
“Rolling” or “twisting” of the ankle may over-stretch the ankle ligaments. The severity can vary significantly. A simple Grade 1 ankle injury may limit activity for one to two weeks, while a Grade 3 ankle injury may see your child hobbling for up to two months 
. Ankle pain is one of most common injuries that physiotherapists treat, and it has the highest rate of recurrence.
That’s why it’s really important to make sure that your child’s ankle pain is correctly diagnosed in order to get the right treatment for it! Following a personalised Rehabilitation Program is the best way to ensure that your child overcomes their ankle pain and to prevent repeated incidents of ankle 
sprains.
Here at My Favourite Physio, our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists 
have seen many children with ankle pain, and the ones who get the best outcomes are the children who are seen immediately
after an ankle sprain and follow the treatment plan we designed to help them overcome the injury to return to active pain free living! 
Don’t let your child’s “simple” ankle pain become a chronic problem, ring My Favourite Physio on 
(02) 9790 4233 or DM us @myfavouritephysio to book an appointment with one of our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists today! We would love to help your child overcome their ankle pain to get back to active living today!
