What should i do to loosen tendons in ankle?

Brace or surgery: I will assume you mean loose ligaments from old ankle sprains. An ankle brace is often helpful as well as surgical repair of the ligamants.

NOT RECOMMENDED: Muscles, tendons, and ligaments around the ankle are designed to be tight for stability. I don't think you want to do that. Sincerely, Dr. Latva
