Ankle injury? We'll pull out the big guns!

There's nothing like rolling your ankle to change you from sure-footed and confident to a hobbling
mess!

And one of the most common complaints we hear at Capital Podiatry is 'my ankle just hasn't been the same since I sprained it'.

But this doesn't have to be the case. If your ankle is holding you back, we'll pull out the big guns.

We've perfected our own technique of manual therapy. And we'll also use our combination of stretches and strengthening and balance exercises.

These balance exercises work to improve the nerve feedback from your feet and ankles.

It's a way of retraining your senses, so you're more aware of what your feet are doing.

It means that next time, you're better prepared and it may help prevent another injury.

Muscles need work too. In an ankle sprain, you'd most commonly injure the muscles on the outside of your leg. And our treatment would include massage, easing the knots or 'trigger points' in your muscles and making sure your muscles are back to working at their best.
