Foot and Ankle Pain

Whatever you're dealing with in feet, you've come to the right place. The foot and ankle is one of our main areas of interest. The foot is very complicated so there's a lot that can go wrong with it.

Some things we hear about the foot and ankle can include:

"I can't put my foot down due to pain in the morning."

"My ankle's so loose it can roll when I'm walking."

"The back of my heel is sore and aches every morning."

Treatments We Offer

Correctly treating foot and ankle pain often means looking at the whole person. Treatment needs to be focused around not only treating the injured structure, but also addressing how the injury happened in the first place. Some aspects of treatment should therefore include:

Biomechanical assessment and video analysis
Hands on treatment to restore mobility and reduce pain
Taping or orthotic management for support
Addressing posture and centre of mass changes which can come from old injuries
A progressive strengthening program to improve resilience and reduce pain
Discuss footwear and other factors that may be contributing to the problem.
