It is best to rest your ankle and let it heal in the beginning. If you recently sprained it, you should ice it, and let it rest. Try not to put a lot of weight on it. If it doesn't feel better within a few weeks, its best to see your doctor to see if therapy is needed.
you dont
If you don't, the most important thing to do immediately on day one is isometric exercises (the ankle doesn't move) isometric exercises do not cause ligament inflammation so they are safe to do right away.
Try an over-the-counter clothing ankle brace. Otherwise, consult with your local podiatrist.
I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for evaluation and treatment options. I recommend you make sure there is no structural damage before initiating a self massage
