Hello. This problem is frequently encountered post chikunguniya. Its better to start with contrast bath means immersing in hot for 3 minutes and cold water for 1 minute alternatively for total 10 to 12 minutes and ending up with hot. Wax bath will also help followed by ankle and foot exercises for management of stiffness. Consult an orthopedic physiotherapist for same.
