The five-step process for treating a muscle or joint injury such as an ankle sprain is called "P.R.I.C.E." which is short for Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation). So Your answer: Rest!

Rest is important because you need to let the muscle or join injury recuperate and let it be stress free . The more rest you give it the faster the healing process
