Foot and Ankle

The foot consists of 26 bones designed for weight baring and force distribution. Strong ligaments protect your joints and hold these bones together. When there is pain or injury to the foot or ankle it can be severely debilitating impacting our ability to walk or occasionally drive.

Physiotherapists at total physiotherapy can perform a detailed assessment of your foot and ankle providing a clear provisional diagnosis. Treatment will include hands on manual therapy, bracing or orthotics if required and a structured exercise program. We aim to give you a clear understanding of recovery time and return to activity.
