Common Causes
Ankle issues may develop due to:
- Acute injury – Sprains or trauma from twists, falls, or collisions.
- Overuse or repetitive strain – Running, jumping, or prolonged standing can stress tendons like the Achilles or peroneals.
- Post-surgical changes – Recovery from ankle surgery may require guided rehabilitation to restore mobility and strength.
- Muscle imbalances or weakness – Weak stabilizers, poor foot mechanics, or calf tightness can contribute to plantar fasciitis or tendon overload.
- Degeneration – Tendons and fascia can become inflamed or weakened over time, leading to chronic pain.
What to Expect in Your First Session and Beyond
- A thorough assessment to find the exact cause of your pain
- A simple explanation of what’s happening and why
- Hands-on treatment to release tight muscles and stiff joints
- A custom recovery plan to rebuild strength, stability, and control
Our goal is simple: to help you move freely and confidently again without ankle pain holding you back.
How Physiotherapy / Exercise Physiology Can Help
Our clinicians use evidence-based strategies to:
- Reduce pain and inflammation with targeted exercises, manual therapy, and movement education.
- Improve ankle strength, balance, and stability to prevent recurrence.
- Restore confidence in walking, running, or sporting activities.
- Provide a long-term plan to manage chronic conditions and support recovery after surgery.
With a tailored approach combining physiotherapy and exercise physiology, you can move better, reduce pain, and regain confidence in your ankle function whether at home, work, or on the field.
