Treatments for Foot and Ankle Pain

Our treatment approach is comprehensive and includes various techniques to ensure a successful recovery:

Manual Therapy: Techniques such as massage, joint mobilisations, and myofascial release help improve blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and enhance mobility in the foot and ankle.

Strengthening Exercises: Progressive strengthening exercises target the muscles surrounding the foot and ankle to rebuild strength, improve stability, and support the healing process.

Stretching and Range of Motion Exercises: Gentle stretching and movement exercises gradually increase the range of motion and reduce stiffness in the foot and ankle joints.

Balance and Proprioception Training: Activities that challenge your balance and enhance your body's awareness of joint position are crucial for preventing future injuries and improving overall stability.

Functional Exercises: Functional exercises prepare you for returning to daily activities and sports by mimicking the movements and demands of your routine.
