Loose ligaments: Multiple ankle sprains can lead to this. You need to strengthen your ankle's propioceptors. This is done by balancing on uneven surfaces such as baps board, pillow, or other soft surfaces. First hold a rail for support, as you improve progress to both feet and then just one foot balancing with the other in the air.
