Reclaim Your Victory Over Ankle Sprains with our Targeted Massage Therapy in Toronto

As an RMT, I will continue to offer high-quality therapeutic massage therapy treatments. In addition, with my additional education and training in functional neurology, I can offer patients an integrative approach that often has many longer-lasting benefits. Using a functional neurology-based therapy like P-DTR, we identify the movements that cause your symptoms, perform a specific treatment, retest the same movement after treatment, then provide you with the appropriate exercises for “homework” to solidify our results. Rest assured, I am also Certified and Licensed by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario.

I often hear from my patients that they have tried nearly everything to resolve their issues or meet their fitness goals. Since every case is unique, this is why I have an initial assessment appointment for first timer visitors.

Yes, massage therapy can be beneficial for ankle sprain recovery. It can help reduce pain and inflammation, improve circulation, enhance tissue healing, and promote relaxation. Massage therapy techniques specifically tailored for ankle sprains can assist in reducing scar tissue formation, increasing range of motion, and restoring optimal function.

The benefits of massage therapy for ankle sprains include: 

• Reduction of pain and swelling in the ankle ligaments experienced in acute or chronic ankle injuries
• Improved circulation, which aids in the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the ligaments and affected area
• Promotion of ligament and soft tissue healing and repair
• Relaxation of muscles and reduction of muscle tension
• Increased range of motion and flexibility in the ankle joint
• Enhanced overall physical and emotional well-being during the recovery process
• Prescribed strengthening exercises to support the rehab process

The timing of starting massage therapy after an ankle sprain may depend on the severity of the injury and the recommendations of your healthcare provider. In some cases, gentle massage techniques can be applied during the early stages of recovery to reduce pain and swelling. However, it’s important to consult with a qualified massage therapist or healthcare professional to determine the appropriate timing for massage therapy based on your specific condition.

The healing time for an ankle sprain can vary depending on the severity of the injury. Mild sprains may take around 1-3 weeks, moderate sprains can take 4-6 weeks, while severe sprains may require several months for full recovery.

Home remedies for ankle sprain pain include rest, ice therapy, compression with a bandage or brace, elevation, and over-the-counter pain relievers. It’s important to consult a knowledgeable healthcare professional, like at The Holistic Move, for an thorough assessment and tailored treatment plan.

Common causes of recurring ankle sprains include insufficient rehabilitation, inadequate strength and balance, returning to physical activities too soon, and previous ankle instability. To prevent recurring sprains, it is crucial to follow a comprehensive rehabilitation program, strengthen the ankle through targeted exercises, and gradually return to activities with proper guidance and support.

Signs of a severe ankle sprain that may require medical attention include intense pain, significant swelling, inability to bear weight on the affected ankle, instability, and visible deformity. Seeking medical attention is important to rule out fractures or other serious complications.

It is generally recommended to avoid exercise or sports activities that put strain on the injured ankle during the initial stages of healing. Engaging in physical activity too soon may delay the healing process or lead to further injury. Gradual re-introduction of activities should be done under medical supervision.
