Home program : When I see a patient like yourself with an old ankle sprain with no rehabilitation I take it very slow. You can try a home therapy program Which will consist of contrast bath and a strengthening program. contrast bath three minutes in warm hot water one minute in ice water five times each.Strengthening program is also required. If failure seek medical attention
