About this episode
If you roll your ankle on a trail run and it turns black and blue and swollen, you may think you just have to take a few days off.
In fact, if you research how long it will take to get back to running, you might find a study that says that if you do early range of motion after an ankle sprain, it only takes 4 days to get back to pre-injury levels of activity.
However, if you do that, you can wind up with a lot of trouble later.
When I lecture at medical conferences on how doctors should treat ankle sprains in runners, I teach 3 phases of ankle sprain injury recovery.
If you are a runner with an ankle sprain, and you understand them, it'll help you get back to training and running without another ankle sprain.
What are the three phases of ankle sprain recovery in runners?
Well, that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
