Ankle and foot fractures are common, affecting various bones like the fibula, metatarsals, and calcaneus. Immobilization through casting or bracing is typical, with surgery required for severe cases. After immobilization, joints become stiff, causing discomfort and muscle weakness.

Physical therapy is crucial for rehabilitation, helping to restore range of motion, reduce swelling, alleviate pain, and regain function. Gentle and effective, physical therapy works in conjunction with your doctor's protocol to ensure a quick and safe recovery. With an improved range of motion, strength, stability, and mobility, you can make a complete recovery and resume daily activities confidently.

After foot or ankle surgery, your range of motion and strength may diminish due to limited movement and inflammation. This can lead to difficulties in daily activities like standing and using stairs, resulting in potential work hours and financial loss.

Physical therapy is crucial for post-surgery rehabilitation, aimed at restoring a pain-free range of motion and improving walking coordination, balance, and strength. Our skilled physical therapists will work with you through a structured program, ensuring a successful return to previous activities without pain or loss of function.

Ankle sprains and strains are common injuries, often caused by improper footwear on uneven surfaces or sports-related incidents. The injury involves ligaments (bone to bone) or muscles/tendons (muscle to bone) and occurs due to over-stretching, leading to micro-tearing and swelling. Rest, ice, and elevation are crucial initial steps for treatment.

Physical therapy plays a vital role in recovery, evaluating the extent of the injury, reducing swelling and pain, and restoring range of motion. The goal is to regain normal strength and mobility, ensuring you can return to your desired activities and sports.

Ankle instability is often caused by stretched ligaments, leading to decreased stability in the ankle and foot. This can result from injuries, poor foot positioning, improper shoe wear, or genetic factors.

Physical therapy plays a vital role in addressing ankle instability. Our therapists collaborate with physicians to rehabilitate ankle and foot injuries, assessing joint movements and identifying areas for strengthening. Through a personalized treatment plan, we focus on improving ankle stability and providing support for walking, running, and sports activities.
