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!
