It can be of assistance, like a band-aid, but you are better off finding the root cause of the problem and focus on that.
There is definitely treatment options for acute and chronic swollen ankles. First of all we need to find the reason of the swelling to determine the proper treatment. Swelling in your ankles could be do to vascular insufficiency, sprains, or sports injuries.
Maybe-but probably not. And in some cases, it may actually make your problem worse. So it might be a better idea to find out what the diagnosis is prior to massaging or having someone else massage your ankle
Massage can help with swelling. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for diagnosis of the cause of the swelling and treatment options
