South Dublin's Leading Ankle
Rehab Clinic

Rehabilitation is key to a successful return to sport following an ankle sprain or surgery. Many individuals pass off an ankle sprain as a minor injury, but they'll often repeatedly go over on their ankle afterwards. This can lead to chronic ankle instability, ligament laxity & bony-cartilage issues. Being a Specialised Ankle Rehab Clinic in South Dublin, we are here to thoroughly assess your ankle injury, guiding you back to your sport or recreational activity.

Ankle Rehab : The 5 Phases

Our ankle rehab process involves 5 distinct phases. The work completed in each phase helps to prepare the individual for the next phase. You cannot skip phases!

 

Ankle rehabilitation is criteria-driven, not time-driven. This means that you will work towards meeting specific targets in each phase. If you don't put in the work in one phase, you will not be ready or able to move to the next. This process is proven to work and it ensures that we leave no stone unturned & that nothing gets missed during your rehabilitation.

 

We understand that being injured can be tough. There will be challenging periods throughout rehab, but we are here to guide you the entire way. Think about rehab as being an opportunity to come out the other side, physically & mentally stronger than your were pre-injury. 

 

Ultimately, the goal of ankle rehab is not only to be back playing sport in a few weeks or months time, but to still be playing sport with healthy ankles in 5 and 10 years time. With this in mind, we have refined our rehab process over the past 15 years, to ensure that you receive the latest evidence-based treatment & high quality exercise prescription. 

 

The 5 phases of rehabilitation are outlined below.

Athlete Success Stories

Erika

" Buan Physio is the place where everybody needs to go after having any injury where bones or ligaments are compromised. My daughter had an injury in her ankle (a severe ankle sprain) a year and a half ago and she "recovered" with a different physio, but months later she had two more severe injuries because the ankle was too weak. Once we arrived to Buan Physio, we noticed immediately the difference. Declan is so trustable and knowledgeable about his field. My daughter now has a strong ankle with no pain. They are really good. Totally recommended! "
