Targeted exercise therapy for chronic ankle instability
BeachLife Physiotherapy • 29 September 2025
If you're experiencing recurrent ankle instability or have a history of multiple sprains, you may be dealing with chronic ankle stability.
This condition often arises when the ankle joint becomes weakened and unstable, frequently due to incomplete healing following a previous injury.
Fortunately, research indicates that targeted exercises can be highly beneficial!
A 2025 study demonstrated that specific strengthening and balance training regimens effectively enhance ankle strength and stability, potentially mitigating the risk of recurring injuries.
Therefore, even if your ankle feels improved after an injury, check in with your physio to develop a tailored exercise plan, promoting long-term ankle health!

Reduce irritation, not movement Bursitis often flares with repeated irritation or overload. This doesn't mean you should stop moving, gentle movement helps maintain confidence and support recovery. Avoid prolonged pressure This may include lying on the sore side, leaning on elbow, or sitting on hard surfaces for long periods. Simple position changes and added support can significantly reduce symptoms. Settle symptom first, then rebuild strength As pain settles, gradual strengthening improves load tolerance and helps prevent flare-ups. Recovery is about building capacity - not just reducing pain.
