History of lateral ankle sprain with symptoms persisting for more than 3 months
Continuing symptoms such as pain, instability, or activity limitations
History of ankle surgery within the past 12 months
Advanced ankle osteoarthritis or systemic inflammatory, neurological, or vestibular conditions

Single group
Cognitive Functional Therapy
Procedure/SurgeryCognitive Functional Therapy is an integrated behavioral approach for individualizing the management of people with chronic pain, originally developed for Low Back Pain Patients. It uses a multidimensional "clinical reasoning framework" to identify key modifiable targets for management on the basis of careful listening to the individual's story and examining the individual's behavioral responses to pain. This approach enables the treating clinician to take individuals on a journey to effectively self-manage their chronic pain with a program that is tailored to their unique clinical presentation and context.
