Therapuetic : Start slow with water exercises in pool. Cool water helps decrease inflammation and also puts less stress on the leg and ankle. Build up strength and start a walking program with your doctors consent. Afterward, build up muscle tone by recumbent bicycling until full weight bearing without pain or swelling.
