Physiotherapy can help with many types of foot and ankle pain, including sprains, tendon injuries, heel pain, running injuries and pain affecting walking or sport.
Are You Struggling With Foot & Anke Pain?
Foot and ankle pain can make it difficult to walk, run, exercise, work or stay active. It may come on suddenly after an injury, or gradually over time due to overload, footwear, training changes or biomechanics.
At LMC Physio & Fitness in Rugby, we provide expert assessment and treatment to help reduce pain, restore movement and get you back to doing what you love.
What is Foot and Ankle Pain?
The foot and ankle are made up of many joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones that work together to support your body and help you move efficiently.
Pain in this area can affect walking, running, balance, sport and everyday life. It can be caused by a sudden injury such as an ankle sprain, or by gradual overload of the tendons, joints or soft tissues.
Because there are many possible causes of foot and ankle pain, your physiotherapist will carry out a full assessment and explain what is likely to be causing your symptoms.
