When foot or ankle pain makes it hard to walk, work or play sport, we’ll help you understand what’s happening and build a step-by-step plan back to what matters.
Ankle sprains and recurring instability. If you’ve rolled your ankle or it keeps giving way, we’ll assess how it moves and what you need to get back to walking, work or sport.
Heel and arch pain. If the first few steps in the morning or a long shift on your feet are difficult, we’ll help you work out what’s aggravating it and what you can adjust.
Achilles pain. If stairs, hills or running are uncomfortable, we’ll assess what your calf and tendon can handle and build from there.
If your symptoms show up when you run, video gait analysis can help us see how you move and decide whether a technique change is worth trying. The Running page explains what that assessment involves. Andrew Grigg has a clinical interest in gait and running analysis.
Video and clinical assessment
We’ll ask when the symptoms started, what makes them better or worse, and what you’d like to get back to.
We’ll assess how your foot and ankle move and look at tasks that matter to you, such as walking, stairs or changing direction.
Where it helps, we’ll check calf strength, balance or how you load the foot and ankle.
We’ll explain what we found, discuss whether further assessment is needed, and agree on what you can do now.
We’ll review how you’re responding and adjust the plan as you go. If you’re also dealing with lower back pain, we can discuss how that affects the activities you want to get back to.
Find a starting point for walking, standing or training that fits what you can manage now.
Progress exercises for the tasks you need, whether that’s standing through a shift or landing and changing direction on court.
Build up the time, distance or intensity you need and work through any setbacks together.
If you can’t bear weight or you’re worried about the injury, seek assessment promptly. We can assess the ankle and discuss whether imaging or further care is needed.
We’ll check how your ankle moves and how it responds to balance, strength and the tasks that make it feel unstable.
We’ll ask when the pain shows up, assess how your foot and calf handle load, and help you decide what to adjust.
We can assess how your calf and tendon respond to activity and plan a gradual return to the tasks you want to do.
If pain shows up during runs or returns as you build distance, we can look at your training and decide which tests will help. You can also read our guide covering shin splints.
