Recovering from a broken ankle (lateral malleolus fracture) is more than just waiting for the bone to heal—it’s about regaining mobility, strength, and confidence through structured physical therapy. Here’s what real progress inside our Tennessee clinic looks like:

🔹 Month 1 (Early Rehab, Brace On):
In the beginning, exercises are gentle but essential—ankle pumps and straight leg raises keep the joint moving while reducing stiffness. Supported step-ups and resistance band side-walks start activating the stabilizing muscles. Light stationary cycling improves circulation and helps maintain conditioning. Manual therapy at this stage reduces swelling and restores flexibility in the ankle joint.

🔹 Month 2 (Advanced Rehab, Brace Off):
With the brace removed, therapy shifts to restoring balance, power, and agility. Platform hops replace slow step-ups, retraining shock absorption and stability. Agility drills in multiple directions prepare the ankle for real-life movement and sports demands. Weighted exercises like kettlebell deadlifts strengthen the hips, glutes, and core—reducing unnecessary strain on the ankle. Hands-on manual therapy continues to improve mobility and ensure safe progression.

✅ The difference: In just one month, patients can progress from cautious, brace-assisted movement to dynamic, brace-free mobility. Every milestone matters, and with the right guidance, recovery becomes safer and faster.

At Robust Physical Therapy Tennessee, we believe broken ankle rehab isn’t only about walking again—it’s about moving stronger, safer, and with lasting confidence so you can return to the activities you love—whether that’s work, family, or sport.
