One can experience pain in the foot and wrist due to

elevation, and massage.
Among all these home remedies, massage and

of that pain completely. Many massage techniques are
used to cure sprain or ankle pain. To get the
benefit of these techniques, you should know the
proper method of massage therapy. Before going to
the details of massage techniques, first you should
know what ankle pain is.
What is sprain or ankle pain?
Sprains are minor injuries that you can get during
regular activities such as exercise, sports,
climbing the stair or at the time of any physical
activity. This is normal and all people experience
sprain more than once in their lifetime. A sprain is
an injury to the ligament. This tissue joints the
bones and any damage in this tissue can be the
reason of severe and unbearable pain. It usually
affects ankle, knee, wrist, or elbow. Though this is
not known as any harmful injury, but if you will not
take care of it in the initial period it might
create complications or you might need medical help
to get rid of it. It is always suggested to cure
sprains with some available home remedies at first
as they work best and reduce your pain in a couple
of minutes.
How to get rid of the sprain
There are multiple remedies to cure sprain. Some of
the proven home remedies are the application of ice
tubes or massage the affected area with some
recommended oils. You can also use acupressure to
get immediate relief. A sprain is very normal and
you can get rid of this pain completely within a
couple of days without visiting any physician. But
the important thing is that you should know the
proper massage method or home remedies to get the
benefits. There are multiple techniques that require
less time and effort. You should have the right
knowledge; otherwise, it can damage the tissue and
can make the situation worse rather than resolving
the problem. You can apply any of home remedies with
proper knowledge and massage is one of them.
How does massage help to get rid of sprain
Massage is very effective on sprains. It is a proven
method. People have been using this method since
ancient times to get rid of sprain and its
unbearable pains. You should not be harsh to your
sprain. Always go for a gentle massage that can
reduce your pain in a couple of minutes. If you will
put more pressure, obviously it will damage the
tissue and will create more complications for you
and in some cases; you might need medical help to
cure your sprain. Start the massage gently on the
affected area. You can also use some oil to get
relief from the pain. Even the medical science
prefers massage therapy for the sprain treatment
instead of advising any medicine. It will be good if
you get the help of massage professionals as they
understand the situation in a better way and they
can help you to get rid of your intolerable pain in
no time. Massage is effective in many ways. It cures
your sprain, relieves your tension, and helps to
drain away blood and fluid. These two are the main
causes of pain and swelling.
Which messages are considered more effective?
Any gentle massage can help you to get rid of pain
and to reduce the swelling. As mentioned above, make
sure that you are just simply massaging the affected
area instead of putting any pressure. Massage can
resolve multiple problems. First of all, it helps to
cure both pain and swelling, make you feel great and
amazing, and it will increase your blood flow.
Though professional massage is always recommended,
but in a case of unavailability, you can go for a
self- massage. Self-massage can also help you in a
great way. While massaging the affected area, focus
more on the movements pushing upwards rather than
any downward movement. You can use some pain relief
oil such as grapefruit seed oil, or garlic oil to
get instant relief from the pain.
There are different techniques of massages. Some of
the more effective ways are given below.
• Ice massage
This is a well-known technique. Even the medical
professionals recommended ice massage to cure sprain
and swelling. You can simply massage the area with
ice packs for ten to fifteen minutes immediately
after experiencing any strain and pain. Ice massage
is helpful to reduce swelling and pain. If you want
to get better results then make ice of full paper
cup water and slowly massage it on the affected area
and allow the paper to melt while massaging that can
offer you immediate help from the pain.
• Massage with oil
You can gently massage the swollen area with some
oils such as garlic oil, olive oil, camphor oil,
turpentine oil, or sunflower oil. All the above oils
have a great healing power. They will not only help
you to get relief from the swelling and pain, they
can strengthen the muscles and return them to a
normal position.
• Cross friction massage
You should not use any oil for cross friction
massage. This is a simple procedure. You can do this
massage on the affected area in a stretched
position. Apply pressure with a single finger and
massage deeply forwards and backwards. You should
feel the ligament beneath your skin. This massage
treatment is a bit painful, but you can get the
relief within five to ten minutes.
Massage treatment is helpful to cure sprained ankle
or wrist. But you should not overdo it and should
not continue it if you experience any severe pain
and discomfort while and after practicing this
method.
