    I sprained my ankle last week. 🦶 Is RICE outdated, or still the right approach?

    Later stage

    Approach Note
    Protection 🛡️ Support the joint
    Ice ❄️ Reduce swelling early
    Compression 🩹 Limit swelling
    Elevation 📏 First 48 hours
    • Gradual weight bearing
    • Balance exercises
    • Strengthen calf and peroneals

    How did you recover from your ankle sprain? 🏃
