Common Ankle Conditions We Treat
The ankle joint is essential for balance and mobility but is also vulnerable to various injuries and conditions. At The Physio Box, our experienced physiotherapists provide expert treatment for a range of ankle issues, including:
Ankle Sprains and Strains: Common in sports and physical activity, often due to twisting or overstretching the ligaments.
Achilles Tendonitis: Inflammation of the Achilles tendon, often caused by overuse or repetitive strain.
Ankle Fractures: Broken bones in the ankle, often requiring post-surgical rehabilitation.
Ankle Osteoarthritis: Degeneration of the ankle joint, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Peroneal Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons on the outer side of the ankle, often affecting runners or athletes.
Flat Feet (Pes Planus): A condition where the arches of the feet collapse, leading to excess strain on the ankles.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Recovery after ankle surgeries, including ligament reconstruction, tendon repair, or fracture fixation.
Chronic Ankle Instability: A condition where the ankle repeatedly “gives way” due to weakness or previous injuries.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Ankle Physiotherapy
Detailed Assessment
We begin by assessing your ankle pain and mobility. This includes evaluating your gait, posture, and any underlying issues that may be contributing to your discomfort. With this information, we create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Pain Management Techniques
To reduce pain and inflammation, we utilize a combination of:
Manual therapy (soft tissue release and joint mobilization)
Cold and heat therapy to manage swelling and stiffness
Ultrasound and electrotherapy for healing and pain relief
Rehabilitation Exercises
Exercises are vital for restoring strength, flexibility, and endurance. Depending on your condition, we may focus on:
Balance exercises to enhance proprioception and prevent re-injury.
Strengthening exercises for the calf muscles and ankle stabilizers to improve overall support.
Stretching exercises to maintain flexibility in the Achilles tendon and surrounding muscles.
Sport-Specific and Functional Training
For active individuals or athletes, we focus on functional movements and sport-specific training to prepare you for a safe return to activity. This may include agility drills or jumping exercises for basketball players or runners.
Posture and Biomechanical Correction
Poor posture or faulty movement mechanics can contribute to ankle pain. We assess and correct any postural or biomechanical issues, ensuring proper alignment and reducing strain on the ankle.
Long-Term Prevention Strategies
To prevent future injuries, we provide guidance on:
Proper footwear for your activity level and foot type
Stretching and strengthening routines to maintain ankle health
Tips for proper warm-up and cool-down routines before and after exercise
