THE RESOLVE STANDARD
Assess first.
Decide together.
Rehabilitate with purpose.
Clinical reasoning before proceduresAssessment before treatmentNo treatment pressure
Assessment first
Restore movement, strength and confidence.
Ankle pain may follow a sprain or develop gradually through tendon, joint or loading problems. Ongoing swelling, stiffness or giving way can limit confidence long after the initial injury.
We assess movement, strength, balance and functional tasks, while checking whether imaging or medical review is needed before rehabilitation.
If pain is centred at the back of the heel or tendon, read our Achilles tendinopathy guide.

Your pathway
Clear decisions at every stage.
Restore movement
Stiffness and mobility are addressed according to the stage of recovery.
Build control
Strength and balance exercises improve ankle capacity and confidence.
Return
Walking, running, work or sport demands are reintroduced progressively.
Honest, evidence-informed care
Rehabilitation beyond the first sprain
Progressive strength, balance and task-specific rehabilitation can help reduce persistent limitation and repeated instability. Suspected fracture or significant structural injury requires the appropriate investigation pathway.
Common questions
Useful answers before you enquire.
Do I need an X-ray after an ankle injury?+
That depends on the injury mechanism, ability to bear weight and clinical findings. We recommend urgent assessment when fracture is suspected.
Why does my ankle keep giving way?+
Reduced strength, balance, movement or ligament-related instability may contribute and can be assessed.
Can I return to running?+
Return is guided by symptoms, strength, balance and your ability to tolerate progressively higher loads.
