Foot and ankle
Tape. Train. Return.
Sprain, plantar, Achilles, shin splints. We tape when it helps, we load when it is time, and we send you back to the track faster.
Foot and ankle pain at Physio+ covers plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, ankle sprains, post surgical rehab, bunion pain, and custom orthotic needs. A combination of progressive calf and foot loading, gait retraining, and orthotic management covers most cases inside eight to twelve weeks without injections.
The foot is your contact point with the ground, which means everything upstream affects it and it affects everything upstream. Plantar fasciitis is a loading problem, not a stretching problem. Achilles tendinopathy is a loading problem, not a rest problem. Chronic ankle sprains are an instability and proprioception problem. The right rehab is active, progressive, and pairs exercise with manual work.
We combine progressive calf and foot loading with manual therapy and custom orthotics when the bony structure needs support. For plantar fasciitis, we add shockwave therapy in stubborn cases. We coordinate directly with your podiatrist or orthopedist when surgery is on the table.
A Physio+ foot and ankle evaluation takes sixty minutes. We range, strength test, watch you walk and run, and screen the knee and hip. Vince, our in house CPO and LPO, handles custom orthotic casting when indicated.

Stretching helps short term but does not change the tissue. The fix is loading. A progressive calf and intrinsic foot loading program resolves most plantar fasciitis inside eight to twelve weeks.
Sometimes. If the bony structure of your foot needs support (high rigid arches, severe flat foot, forefoot varus), custom orthotics help. Off the shelf inserts work for most mild cases.
Chronic ankle instability almost always responds to proprioception, calf, and peroneal loading work before surgery is considered. Most patients stabilize the ankle inside six to ten weeks.
Tendinopathy is the modern term. The old term tendinitis implied inflammation, but the tissue change is actually degenerative not inflammatory. Treatment is loading, not rest.
We almost never recommend cortisone in the plantar fascia because of the risk of fascial rupture. Shockwave has better outcomes with far less risk.
Most runners return to easy miles inside three to six weeks and to full training inside eight to twelve weeks. Acute Achilles tears take longer and follow a specific protocol.
