Start with Motion: Gentle range of motion exercises first. Try moving the ankle in every direction it can go. Pretend the big toe is a marker and draw the alphabet in the air. When you have full pain free range of motion you advance to strengthing and balance exercises using resistance bands and balance board. Talk to your doc to plan out a specific rehab schedule for you.

Several things: Do range of motion in just flexing your ankle up and down and around in circles. Point your toes to the ground and draw the letters of the alphabet. Pick up a towel with your toes.
