Yes, physical therapy can be very effective in managing and reducing ankle swelling, especially since swelling can result from various causes, including injury, overuse, or an underlying health condition. A physical therapist can work with you to identify the root cause of the swelling and develop a personalized treatment plan aimed at reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and enhancing the strength and flexibility of your ankle.
It's important to have your ankle evaluated by a healthcare professional before starting physical therapy to ensure the treatment plan is appropriate for your specific situation. If the swelling persists or is accompanied by severe pain, redness, or warmth, it's crucial to seek medical attention as these could be signs of a more serious condition.

Physical therapy can help to depend on the cause of the swelling. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle specialist (podiatrist) for diagnosis and treatment options.
It depends on what is causing the ankle swelling. Ankle swelling can be from trauma/sprain/fracture, or it can be caused by more significant pathologies, like renal failure, congestive heart failure, or venous insufficiency. If this is a long-standing problem, it is in your best interest to seek medical attention for the problem
