Hi,
Thanks for your query again.
She requires exercises and good physical therapy to strengthen the pelvic, posture and spine. It will help to increase mobility of spine and hips.
Suggested exercises for her are squats, lunges, hip extensions.
These exercises are good way to strengthen quadriceps, hamstring, lower back , hip and buttock muscle.
Do these exercises under guidence of a physiotherapist.
Ankle swelling and severe pain might be due to some arthritic changes or inflammatory process. Get this examined by an orthopaedic surgeon.
Hope this will helps you. Let me know if you have any more concern.
Wishing her good health
