How soon after an ankle injury would you recommend seeing a physiotherapist?

I cannot walk at the moment without support boot & crutches.

My injury was from playing soccer 4 days ago.

Had an x ray..no broken bones.

Ligament tears are suspected.

A lot of swelling.

    Keep icing for swelling. PT should help and you are lucky there are no broken bones.
