that balance training programs effectively reduce the risk of ankle sprains, particularly in athletes and those with a history of previous sprains. • Modalities: In some cases, our physical therapists may use ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and laser therapy to alleviate pain and accelerate tissue healing. These treatments can be particularly beneficial in the early stages of injury recovery. • Education and Self-Care: Patient education is a cornerstone of foot and ankle rehabilitation. Physical therapists guide self- care, including home exercises and strategies to prevent further injury. Studies show that patient education significantly improves outcomes and reduces the risk of recurring issues. Whether recovering from a sprain, managing a chronic condition, or aiming to prevent future problems, our programs offer effective solutions to restore mobility, alleviate pain, and enhance overall foot and ankle health.

At Restore Physical Therapy, we’ll start with a comprehensive assessment that considers your medical history, including your previous activity level and the specific injury to your ankle or foot. This evaluation forms the basis of your personalized treatment plan. We recognize that each patient is unique, and we develop personalized treatment plans tailored to your individual needs, including the following: • Manual Therapy and Exercise: Physical therapists often begin treatment with manual therapy techniques that include joint mobilizations and soft tissue mobilizations. These hands-on methods improve joint mobility, reduce pain, and enhance tissue flexibility. We also use tailored exercises to help restore normal function, strengthen muscles, and improve the range of motion in the foot and ankle. • Balance and Proprioception Training: Balance and proprioception training are essential for foot and ankle rehabilitation. These exercises target the improvement of proprioceptive awareness and stability, crucial for preventing re-injury.
