    he needs to stay off it for a week or 2 and make sure he ices it for 20 mins every 2 hours hes awake (i think thats what it is lol) but i have bad ankles and im in gymnastics XP .... but when he fully recovers he might still want a brace on and do exercises daily without the brace and start to treat it normal again slowly until it has FULLY recoverd.. gud luck !

    Source(s): im a gymnast so im used to alot of injurys :P

    YES..he needs to get those ankles strengthened & when they are...keep strengthening..he also needs to get rid of the braces..they are making his ankles weaker...he also needs to learn some balance mechanisms...hey..how about PT??
