Why do i keep spraining my ankle?

If you are suffering repeated ankle sprains it could be for a few reasons some of the more common reasons are:

  • Weakness and looseness from unrehabbed previous injuries
  • Poor shoes
  • Poor technique during certain sporting movements
  • A foot type that lands on the outside of the foot and remains supinated(rolled out) during walking and running. This is most common is high arched or Cavus feet.

If you are finding you are getting repeated ankle sprains it is really important to try and get to the bottom of why and address that cause. If you do not do this it is likely that you will continue to suffer the sprains and experience chronic ankle pain and arthritis in later years.
