Important Fit & Safety Information

Ankle Rehabilitation & Recovery
Ankle support can be useful during selected stages of recovery, but the long-term goal of rehabilitation is to restore the ankle’s capacity for movement and load.
A well-rounded ankle recovery program may involve:
Restore Movement
Work towards comfortable ankle movement and mobility.
Build Strength
Progressively strengthen the calf and muscles supporting the ankle.
Improve Balance
Develop balance, coordination and proprioception.
Return to Activity
Gradually increase walking, running, jumping or sporting demands as appropriate.
At Vitality Chiropractic Australia, we take an evidence-informed approach to musculoskeletal care and rehabilitation. An ankle support may be recommended as part of an individualised plan based on your symptoms, goals and clinical needs.
