To prevent ankle sprain recurrence, it is essential to strengthen the stabilizing muscles (such as the peroneals) and to practice progressive proprioception (balance) exercises.

Margaux's explanation regarding the loss of ligament reactivity following a sprain is based on the concept of post-traumatic proprioceptive deficit, a phenomenon well-documented in scientific literature. Meta-analyses and systematic reviews (e.g., Cochrane, British Journal of Sports Medicine) confirm that proprioceptive training and muscle strengthening are the most effective pillars for preventing recurrence. The idea that a stretched ligament transmits information to the brain less effectively is a clear simplification of the altered mechanoreception mechanism. The proposed progression (from static to dynamic) is consistent with standard physical therapy rehabilitation protocols. However, the advice to systematically undergo an osteopathic assessment for 'locked bones' following a sprain lacks robust clinical evidence and is more a matter of field practice than a consensus based on Evidence-Based Medicine. The exercise-based approach remains the most solid and validated aspect of her recommendation.
