Taping the ankle can offer good support and help you achieve full mobility. When you twist your foot or ankle, it usually twists inwards damaging the ligaments on the outside of the ankle.
Outward twists damaging the inside ligaments are rare.
The majority of cases are sports injuries but it can also happen in everyday life. If you do not receive the appropriate physiotherapy treatment and allow the injury time to recover you will be more likely to sprain the area again. A sprained ankle can be very painful. But t he speed of onset and the severity of the pain can vary greatly. Sometimes, the pain can be delayed, at other times it is instant.
