E-rx.onlineLocal Tips for Ankle Sprain in Konyaalti
Konyaalti’s long pebble beach and promenade are popular with families, so sun, swimming and sea-water problems are common. Wet pool surrounds, steps to the beach and loose sand turn ankles rapidly. Wear sandals with a strap and walk slowly on wet tiles.
Common Triggers
Rolling or twisting the foot on uneven paths, steps, wet floors, sand or in unsuitable shoes. Sport, hiking, dancing and flip-flops all add to the risk.

How to Lower Your Risk of Ankle Sprain
