Typical Symptoms:
Common Causes:
Our therapists employ manual techniques, balance drills, and strengthening exercises tailored to your specific ankle issue. By identifying and correcting biomechanical issues (like flat feet or tight calves), we prevent repeated injuries and restore normal gait. At our Palm Beach County clinics in Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, Wellington, and Lake Worth, we frequently see athletes and everyday individuals with recurring ankle sprains or lingering stiffness. Early sessions often target reducing inflammation and pain through modalities, followed by careful progression into load-bearing exercises on wobble boards, resistance bands, and balance equipment. As you advance, weâll incorporate sport-specific drills or functional tasks relevant to your lifestyleâlike climbing stairs or walking on uneven surfacesâto ensure your ankle is strong and stable in real-world conditions.

Key Benefits:
Mild sprains can improve in a few weeks; more severe or chronic issues may require longer therapy. Consistency in exercises is key. By following your customized plan at Be On The Move and sticking to your home exercises, you can typically anticipate a return to normal walking, jogging, or sports within a timeframe outlined by your therapistâoften 4â8 weeks for minor sprains and up to several months for more complex cases.
Do I need an ankle brace?
It depends on your stability needs. Braces can provide short-term support but arenât a long-term substitute for strengthening.
Should I apply ice or heat?
Ice is generally recommended for acute swelling or after activity. Heat can help relax stiff muscles in subacute phases.
Is your pain keeping you from fully enjoying your day?
Do you wish it would just disappear, but it continues to trouble you?
