Why Work With An Ankle Pain Physical Therapist?
Incorporating physical therapy into your ankle treatment regimen can mean the difference between a quick heal and a long-term issue. Your ankle specialist will help to target specific areas surrounding the ankle that contribute to stiffness and pain, incorporating techniques to reduce your symptoms. They may use other treatment methods such as:
• Manual therapy to improve ankle mobility and decrease pain.
• Exercise programs to work on surrounding structures that affect ankle function, such as the hip and core.
• Balance training to improve proprioceptive deficits and restore stability.
At Therapydia, our physical therapists offer one-on-one, hands-on ankle treatment. You’ll spend your entire visit with one of our expert therapists — we won’t hand you off to a PT assistant or aide. With our manual therapy techniques and custom exercise programs, we’ll help you recover from your ankle injury and/or improve your mechanics to get rid of your current pain. We offer same day appointments and will find a time that works around your schedule. Make an appointment today and let’s work together to understand the true cause of your symptoms so that you can return to a lifestyle, pain-free!
Hear From Those Who Have Said Goodbye to Ankle Pain:
“I came to get help on dealing with an old ankle injury and felt well supported with treatments and exercises that really made a difference. My ankle is much better and I have confidence with the exercises I will continue to do, I will continue the gain of function and the lessening of pain. The treatment with my PT was caring, thoughtful, and effective.” – Lusijah
“I have no pain in my ankle and I’ve been working out a lot. I went from a 110 (good form) backsquat max to a 145 max since I finished therapy. I could barely squat when I started. I always recommend Therapydia to anyone who needs PT.” – Lael E.
“I hobbled, both physically and mentally, into the office 3 weeks ago recovering from ankle surgery, frustrated and in pain. My surgeon had left before the anesthesia had worn off and the physical therapist prior had told me my pain was in my head. From the onset of the interaction to schedule with Nikki, to the 1 hour hands on assessment with Jay, and throughout the hour long sessions with both Jay and Sabrina over the last few weeks, I am finally positive again. I have become significantly stronger and the hope of healing is now a reality. The team is outstanding: they are personal, validating, experienced, knowledgeable, technically and manually skilled, and most importantly, they make the patient feel that we truly matter. I am their full priority from the moment I walk in until I leave. From the variety of treatments (heat, massage, electricity), the strengthening exercises, to doable activities at home, I have insight into what is happening, so I feel like a whole system and team is making my recovery possible. I really wish I didn’t have to be a patient to be here. I could use this kind of alignment and attention everyday. Thanks!” – Shelly R.
“The first doctor told me I needed surgery for my high ankle sprain but once I met my PT, she was very confident that I could rehab my ankle & forgo surgery which I chose to do with her help. I am now back to playing tennis as a result of her care and I am incredibly grateful for her professional knowledge & rehab care that I was unable to find at the first PT practice I had gone to. I feel very fortunate to have found Therapydia.” – Chrys C.
