PS. In the episode I referred to some stats and facts around lateral ankles injuries.

40% of people develop chronic ankle instability
Repeated sprains and potential long-term and disabling conditions
After an ankle sprain, reaction time is delayed.
Evidence suggests that delaying rehab (>4 weeks) after the initial injury significantly increases risk of ankle instability later.
A large study (195,000+ patients) found that among people with ankle sprain, a modest but significant proportion developed ankle OA over time.
Structural changes to the ankle (inc joint/bony injury) are often evident on imaging, even after low-moderate grade lateral ankle sprains, suggesting tissue and joint changes happen earlier than might be assumed.
PPS. Want to fast-track your ankle knowledge and skills to treat even the most trickiest of ankle injuries?
