A member asked:

What exercises will help strengthen my 4 month old double ankle sprain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Oooh sounds like: You have much ankle instability. There are many different exercises available, but i would recommend having formal physical therapy performed. There is much more that needs to be done then simply exercising to recover from ankle sprains to ensure you do notcontinue to have them repetitively.
