Foot, heel, and ankle pain are common issues that can result from conditions like plantar fasciitis, sprains, arthritis, or improper footwear. These problems can limit mobility and make everyday activities such as walking, standing, or exercising painful.
Physiotherapy is highly effective in treating foot, heel, and ankle pain by targeting the root causes and focusing on improving strength, flexibility, and function. Physiotherapists use a combination of manual therapy, stretching exercises, strengthening routines, and gait training to reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent further injury.
Whether you’re dealing with a sports injury, chronic pain, or post-surgery rehabilitation, physiotherapy can provide significant relief and help restore normal function. A personalized treatment plan will enhance recovery, improve your movement, and support long-term foot and ankle health.
