Foot and Ankle Pain

“Just a rolled ankle” is a phrase that we often hear…..from people who continue to roll their ankle.

Ankle sprain recurrence rates have been found to be as high as 80%. This is mostly due to poor management and lack of rehabilitation and knowledge about the injury.

SmartMoves Physiotherapists are extremely skilled in assessing and treating an ankle injury in the initial phase as well as someone with long-term ankle problems.

Strength and proprioceptive training is effective in both reducing pain, reducing recurrent sprains and improving performance and function.
