So, a little while ago (early November), I sprained my ankle. It wasn't too bad, so I continued dancing on it, but I still needed to treat it. It got me thinking; what should we really do when us dancers have a sprained ankle? So I looked it up. And I found this (it opens in a new window) simple treatment that shows the best way to heal a sprained ankle. Now I didn't follow this to a T. I kept dancing on it, and I didn't get any professional help. My ankle is fine now, but if yours hurts for longer than three days, go get help from a physical therapist. It's their job!

P.S. Don't like using ice packs with blocks of hard ice in them? Make this shapeable icepack. One part rubbing alcohol, three parts water. It gets super cold, but never freezes!
