What is the best way to repair soft tissue damage in your ankle?

Initial healing can take up to several weeks, and then up to a year for full recovery. Continue rest and elevation whenever possible. As the ankle becomes stronger ambulate it gradually, and exercise it by rotating the ankle and moving it back and forth a few minutes everyday.
