After any sporting injury, the tissue is painful, tender, swollen, red, weak & perhaps unstable. For example, with a bad ankle sprain you may not be able to take all your weight on the joint. In this phase, we consider taping, braces or even a walking boot to reduce symptoms and set up the best environment for tissue healing.
