The best way to prevent a sprain is to strengthen your ankles and feet by doing exercises such as stretching, strengthening exercises, and balance exercises. Make sure you wear shoes that fit properly and have good arch support. Avoid activities that require excessive foot motion or impact on your ankles, such as running, jumping, and playing sports. If you do experience an ankle sprain, make sure to rest it and follow up with physical therapy.
