Foot & Ankle Pain
Our physiotherapist assesses foot and ankle pain, considering the hips, spine, pelvis, and overall movement patterns for structural or functional contributions.
Physiotherapy Consultation for Ankle and Foot Pain
A physiotherapy consultation for ankle and foot pain will start with a discussion of the history of your presenting issue. This will be followed by a full assessment of the architecture and mechanical behavior of your feet and ankles to understand how they interact with the environment and whether movement patterns may be influencing pain or injury.
As part of your assessment, the physiotherapist will appraise your current footwear and shoe inserts. Gait analysis will be used examining your running and walking mechanics and technique.
The physiotherapist will then discuss their findings with you and agree upon the best management strategy to help alleviate your ankle and foot pain and achieve your goals.
