Julie is on it. Mulligan may help as may tradition mobes of the talus.

Another thing that you must consider is the fact that with an ankle sprain you also have a strain to the fibularis longus and/or brevis (AKA peroneals). It's also common to find adhesions at the site of injury, at the retinacula that hold the fibularis tendons in place, and the retinacula that hold the toe extensors in place across the front of the foot.

A good manual therapist or chiro with ART skills will be able to straighten you out pretty quick. You may also need some unstable training and progressive return to more explosive activities. It you're not fully confident in your ankle function, you aren't fully rehabbed.
