In episode 373 of The Physical Performance Show, sports medicine expert Dr Jay Hertel shares an in-depth exploration of chronic ankle instability in athletes. Drawing on his extensive clinical and research experience, Dr Hertel discusses the prevalence, consequences, and complex rehabilitation of ankle sprains. The conversation covers the patho-mechanical, sensory-perceptual, and motor-behavioural impacts of repeated ankle injuries, including early onset osteoarthritis, proprioceptive deficits, and the psychological hurdles faced by patients—such as loss of confidence and fear of re-injury.

Dr Hertel explains the evolution of clinical models for assessing and treating chronic ankle instability, emphasising individualised care that considers not just the structural and neuromuscular factors, but also personal and environmental influences on recovery. The episode includes practical wisdom and a holistic approach and leaves athletes, clinicians, and listeners with a greater appreciation for the complexity of ankle injuries and a roadmap for improving outcomes both physically and mentally.
