Massage therapy is a core component for treating ankle sprains and is used with other treatments used by other providers, such as laser therapy, ultrasound, microcurrent, and electrical stimulation.

Many references (including those online) are updating their facts to correctly identify retinacula as a thickening of the fascia of the leg.
