Your detailed assessment time of 1 hour to 1.5 hours will include:
Detailed history taking
None weight bearing examination
Weight bearing examination
Diagnostic foot/ankle mobilisation
testing
Balance and muscle tests
Dynamic assessment/gait analysis
Footwear appraisal – foot
orthoses or insoles could be prescribed for you if I find the need
for these following your assessment. These will be specifically
designed to help to improve you function, control and stability and
so reducing the tissue stress and symptoms causing you pain
Foot/ankle mobilisation therapy
can be used as an alternative therapy to orthoses but is often used
in combination for the most effective results. Keeping your foot
mobile will help you to break down any connective tissue
restrictions that stop your foot functioning which can cause chronic
pain and discomfort
Soft tissue mobilisation therapy
can be extremely effective when you are treating chronic muscle,
ligament and tendon pain. If you are looking for rehabilitation of
ankle sprains, Achilles tendon as well as plantar fascia and other
conditions and disorders
