early use of heat or too much activity,standing, or
sitting with the ankle hanging.

unstable by definition and make sprains more likely
to occur.

about 40% of all volleyball related injuries.
They occur most commonly at the net when
opposing players lands onto another

the injury before returning to play,
preferably under the supervision of an
athletic trainer or physical therapist.
