Why Do I Have Foot and Ankle Pain?Your feet and ankles are both very complex structures. According to the Arthritis Foundation, the ankle joint consists of three bones that all must interact with one another correctly, as well as various connective tissues that hold the assembly of the joint together. In order for your feet and ankles to function properly, everything must work together in harmony. While both structures have their complexities, the foot has an even more intricate make-up than the ankle. The foot is comprised of approximately two dozen bones, 30 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Because the feet and ankles are so complex, it is common for people to sustain injuries in those areas, which can lead to physical limitations.

Contact Concept of Movement Physiotherapy for Foot and Ankle Pain Relief in BarrieOur Barrie physiotherapists are equipped to treat any foot or ankle condition you may be experiencing, whether it be acute or chronic. We will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to figure out where your pain is originating, and then we will design an individualized treatment plan based on your needs. With an acute injury, it is likely that you will be prescribed a R.I.C.E (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) treatment for the first few days, in order to make sure that all swelling subsides. Then more specialized treatments will begin. If you have chronic pain, your treatment plan will start with specialized and targeted techniques, as the pain has become progressive. These techniques will include targeted and stretching exercises in order to strengthen the foot and ankle muscles, improve balance, and restore joint mobility. Our physiotherapist may also recommend lifestyle changes or orthotic footwear, in order to ease your foot and ankle pain, boost your circulation, and prevent more problems from occurring in the future. At Concept of Movement Physiotherapy, our goal is to provide holistic healing and pain management so you can get back to living your life without limitations.
