Have you injured your ankle recently? Don’t just "walk it off." Ignoring signs of lingering damage could lead to chronic issues. Here are key signs it's time to consider physical therapy:

✅ Persistent Swelling or Bruising – If swelling doesn’t subside within a week or two, it could indicate deeper tissue or ligament damage.
✅ Ongoing Pain – Pain with walking, standing, or even at rest may signal improper healing.
✅ Limited Range of Motion – Struggling to move your ankle the way you used to? PT can restore flexibility and function.
✅ Instability or Weakness – Feeling like your ankle might “give out”? We’ll help rebuild your strength and confidence.
✅ Recurrent Injuries – If it’s not your first ankle sprain, therapy can prevent the next one.

At Island Sports Physical Therapy, our expert team will assess your injury and create a customized recovery plan to get you back on your feet—stronger than before. Request an appointment with us today!

Is Your Teen’s Backpack Hurting Their Back?
Heavy backpacks and poor carrying habits can cause back, shoulder, and neck pain in teens—especially as the school year gets busy. At Island Sports Physical Therapy, we often see teens struggling with discomfort caused by overloaded or improperly worn backpacks.
Here are a few simple tips to help protect your teen’s back:
• Choose a backpack with padded straps and multiple compartments to distribute weight evenly.
• Encourage using both shoulder straps instead of just one.
• Pack only what’s necessary—limit weight to no more than 10-15% of their body weight.
• Adjust straps so the backpack sits close to the back and doesn't hang low.
If your teen complains of ongoing back or shoulder pain, physical therapy can help reduce discomfort, improve posture, and teach healthy habits for the future. Contact us today! 631-212-1822
