Ankle Sprain? Don’t Ignore It!

Twisting your ankle can seem minor, but improper care can lead to long-term instability.

What to do first (POLICE):
Protect the ankle
Optimal gentle movement
Ice for 15–20 mins
Compression bandage
Elevation

Why physiotherapy matters:
• Reduces pain & swelling
• Restores strength and mobility
• Improves balance & stability
• Prevents repeat ankle sprains

Avoid walking through pain or skipping rehab.

Early treatment = faster recovery & safer return to activity
Consult your physiotherapist for the right rehab plan.

Step by step guide to do your Squats Correctly 👇🏻

Starting Position
• Stand with feet shoulder-width apart
• Keep your chest up and spine neutral
• Engage your core (tighten your stomach gently)

The Descent (Going Down)
• Push your hips back first (like sitting on a chair)
• Bend your knees while keeping your weight on heels & mid-foot
• Knees should move in line with your toes (don’t let them collapse inward)
• Keep your chest proud, don’t round your back
• Go down until:
• Thighs are parallel to the floor (or as low as comfortable with good form)

Bottom Position
• Heels stay flat on the ground
• Knees aligned with toes
• Spine neutral, core engaged
• No pain in knees or back

The Ascent (Coming Up)
• Push through your heels
• Squeeze your glutes
• Keep chest up and core tight
• Stand up fully and end with a posterior pelvic tilt by squeezing your glutes.

Common Mistakes to Avoid ❌
• Knees collapsing inward
• Heels lifting off the floor
• Rounding or over-arching the lower back
• Leaning too far forward
• Squatting too fast with no control

Quick tips

Knees track over toes
Weight evenly distributed
Controlled movement
Pain-free range

If You’re a Beginner or Have Knee/Back Pain
• Start with chair squats
• Use wall squats
• Perform partial squats first
• Focus on quality, not depth

Strong knees need strong support.
If you have knee arthritis, these 4 muscle groups are non-negotiable:

Glutes - Reduce stress on the knee by improving hip stability
Hamstrings - Support smooth knee movement and reduce stiffness
Quadriceps - The main shock absorbers for your knee joint
Calf muscles - Improve walking, balance, and joint control

Stronger muscles results in less pain, better mobility, more confidence

Exercise is medicine for knee arthritis
Consistency matters more than intensity
Always train with correct form

Start slow. Stay regular. Move better.

Guided physiotherapy makes all the difference.
