Taylor’s weekly ballet class always lit up her week, a rhythm of pirouettes and pliés she adored. Today, though, a misstep sent her crashing to the studio floor, her ankle buckling under her as she yelped in pain. Her mother rushed her to the clinic, where a doctor with ...a calm demeanor examined the swollen joint, gently pressing to assess the damage. “It’s a mild ligament strain,” he explained, noting her winces. “No fractures, but rest is key.” He guided them through the RICE method—rest, ice, compression, elevation—and fitted Taylor with a brace to stabilize the ankle, advising against weight-bearing for a few days. He prescribed anti-inflammatory gel and suggested gentle stretches once the swelling eased, scheduling a follow-up to track her progress. “Stick to the plan,” he reassured, “and you’ll be back en pointe soon.” Taylor nodded, clinging to her mother’s hand, already mentally mapping her return to the barre.
