From ankle sprain to game-ready in just a few days. ๐ช๐
Before their Monday league game in Lambak, my client suffered an ankle sprain during a hard drive to the basket. The next day, the ankle was swollen and painful โ but instead of forcing rest alone, we focused on proper rehab, dynamic mobilization drills, and controlled movement recovery.
Our goal was simple:
โ
Reduce pain and swelling
โ
Restore mobility and stability
โ
Regain confidence before game day
Leading up to Thursdayโs game, we carefully tested the ankle through rehab exercises and basketball-specific movement drills. Even 1 hour before tip-off, we were still doing activation and mobility work to make sure the ankle could handle game intensity safely.
To add extra support and protection, I applied athletic taping on the injured ankle for added stability and confidence during cuts, drives, and landings. ๐ฉน๐ฅ
The result?
โ๏ธ No pain during the game
โ๏ธ Played confidently
โ๏ธ Performed well
โ๏ธ Team secured the WIN ๐
