How Foot & Ankle Rehabilitation Works
Foot and ankle rehabilitation starts by understanding your symptoms and the demands you place on your body. We assess relevant factors such as movement, strength and function before developing an individual management plan. Depending on your presentation, this may incorporate treatment, education, progressive loading and strength-based rehabilitation.
01. Assess
Understand your foot or ankle.
We start with your symptoms, injury history, current activity and goals. Your assessment may include movement, strength and functional testing relevant to your presentation and the activities you want to return to.
02. Treat
Develop strength and capacity.
Your rehabilitation may incorporate targeted exercises and progressive loading based on your individual presentation. Using our fully equipped North Sydney gym, your program can develop as your capacity and activity demands change.
03. Rebuild
Prepare for movement, running or sport.
As appropriate, rehabilitation can progress towards the specific demands of walking, running, gym training or sport. Your program is adjusted according to your progress and the activities you’re preparing to return to.
