Have you been told—or do you suspect—that a foot or ankle issue is affecting your ability to move freely? Common conditions like Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, or peroneal tendinitis can significantly impact your quality of life. Whether you’ve recently sprained your ankle or are dealing with persistent pain, Tempered Physical Therapy is here to help you return to your normal routines.

Understanding the Pain

If you’ve been diagnosed with an “-itis” condition in the foot or ankle, it means inflammation is present, causing discomfort and limiting mobility. These issues typically arise when the demands placed on your muscles and tendons exceed their current capacity.

How We Can Help

At Tempered Physical Therapy, we take a comprehensive and personalized approach to treating foot and ankle conditions:

• Progressive Strengthening: All tendinitis-related conditions benefit from a tailored exercise program designed to gradually rebuild strength and resilience.
• Manual Therapy: Techniques such as soft tissue massage, dry needling with electrical stimulation, and cupping help reduce pain and promote healing.
• Lifestyle Adjustments: We’ll recommend short-term modifications to your daily activities to support your recovery. These changes are temporary, and we’ll progressively reintroduce your normal routines as your symptoms improve.

Recent or Chronic Ankle Sprains?

If you’ve recently sprained your ankle, experienced repeated sprains, or are recovering from foot or ankle surgery, we can support your healing:

• Acute Ankle Sprains: Treatment may include manual therapy (dry needling, joint mobilization, myofascial decompression) and progressive strengthening to restore function.
• Chronic Ankle Instability: We’ll apply similar techniques, along with targeted strengthening and stability exercises, to help you feel strong and confident on your feet again.

More Than Just Physical Therapy

Your recovery is about more than just exercises. Pain and inflammation are influenced by several lifestyle factors—including sleep, stress, recovery habits, and nutrition. We’ll address these areas as part of your treatment plan to give you the best chance at lasting relief.
