An ankle sprain is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries and one of the most commonly neglected. When the swelling goes down, healing is not complete: unless the balance sense carried by the ligaments is restored, the risk of spraining it again rises sharply. Fzt. Kemran Hafız plans ankle rehabilitation specifically to remove that risk.
About your physiotherapist
Fzt. Kemran Hafız provides one-to-one care for ankle at the clinic in Bursa Nilüfer — in Fethiye Mahallesi, on Kelebek Sokak, at a central point of Nilüfer, opposite the Fethiye covered market.
It is a short trip by car or public transport from İhsaniye, Odunluk, Balat, Özlüce, Ataevler, 23 Nisan and the surrounding areas. Every session is one-to-one, assessment-based and tailored to you.
When fall risk is assessed in older age and in neurological conditions, hip and knee strength usually get the attention. Restricted ankle movement and lost position sense go unnoticed — yet the ankle is the first joint that corrects balance.
Fzt. Kemran Hafız starts the assessment with ankle range of motion and single-leg stance time. The programme targets how the foot lands during walking. Gains are measured concretely: walking over obstacles, balance while turning, going down stairs.
Inside ligament tissue are sensory receptors that tell the brain what angle the joint is at. A sprain damages those receptors too; even when pain has gone, the joint cannot react in time and the same injury repeats.
The heart of rehabilitation is therefore single-leg balance, unstable-surface work and exercises that improve reaction speed. Skip this part and the treatment is only half done.
Achilles tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis both settle with rest and return with activity. The current approach is not complete rest but a controlled exercise programme that gradually raises the tendon's capacity to carry load.
Load is increased in measured weekly steps and the response is reviewed at every session.

Fzt. Kemran Hafız · Bursa Nilüfer. Share your complaint; we plan the process together after the assessment.
Long periods of complete rest are no longer recommended. Once swelling and pain are controlled in the first days, early movement within your pain limit speeds recovery.
It can help in the early stage and during return to sport. But the lasting solution is strength and balance around the ankle, not the brace.
The source of pain is usually not the bony spur itself but overload of the plantar fascia. A programme of stretching, strengthening and load management helps in most cases.
For heel pain that bites on the first step of the morning: shockwave, load management and a graded strengthening programme.
For a collapsing arch that causes symptoms: strengthening and load management, not routine intervention.
Injury rehabilitation and criteria-based return to play for athletes at every level.
Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation
Chiropractic and manual therapy are often confused. Both are done with the hands, but their approaches and frameworks differ.

The sharp heel pain on the first step in the morning is often assumed to be a heel spur. But the real name for this condition is plantar fasciitis, and the two aren't the same thing.

Flat feet aren't a disease in most people and cause no complaint. The real question is whether they're leading to a problem.
