Ligament is a type of body tissue, but not the only type. Muscles, for example, can also get torn.
Physical therapy is usually all that is needed. It's really not bad and it works wonders.
No, a torn ligament is a sprain. A sprain can happen when a ligament is overstretched. It can be caused by a twist or wrench. So a twisted ankle is a sprained ankle. A strain refers to when you tear...
no ligaments will no heal on ther own only tendons will.
Not really an exercise but helps to relax, and ice your foot... maybe can massage it but not to much
