Physical Therapy for
Foot and Ankle Pain
There are 28 bones in the foot and ankle, which help provide stability as well as mobility, accommodate uneven surfaces, adapt to absorb forces and bear the weight of the body when standing, walking or running. This is a tall order, and supporting our feet and ankles is important to prevent the many injuries associated with instability. Ankle sprains, fallen arches, plantar fascitis, shin splints and post-surgical management all require intervention that is available from a physical therapist. Intervention may include modalities, training techniques, joint mobilization, strengthening and stretching muscles and tendons, contrast baths or supportive orthotics.
