“It’s just a sprain…” But how many of those become long-term problems?

In this solo episode, Ryan breaks down the myth of the “simple” ankle sprain and why early management matters more than most people think. He unpacks modern acute injury frameworks like PEACE & LOVE, and shares firsthand experience around what too many practitioners get wrong—rushing load, skipping protection, and chasing exercises that look good on Instagram instead of outcomes that last.

If you treat ankles—or have ever called one “just a sprain”—this episode’s for you.
