One of the most common foot and ankle injuries, ankle sprains occur when the ligaments that support the joint are overstretched or torn—often from a sudden twist, roll, or awkward landing. While mild sprains can settle with rest, many cases are left weak, unstable, or prone to re-injury without proper rehab. At Adaptive Physiotherapy & Massage, we focus on restoring full range of motion, rebuilding strength, and improving balance and stability to reduce the risk of future sprains and keep you confidently moving.

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, often felt as a sharp, stabbing sensation with the first few steps in the morning or after long periods of standing. It’s caused by irritation or overloading of the plantar fascia—the thick band of tissue running along the bottom of your foot. At Adaptive Physiotherapy & Massage, we treat the root cause of plantar fasciitis by addressing movement patterns, mobility restrictions, and strength deficits to reduce pain and prevent recurrence.

The Achilles tendon connects your calf muscles to your heel bone and plays a vital role in walking, running, and jumping. Overuse, poor loading, or sudden changes in activity can lead to Achilles tendinopathy—causing pain, stiffness, and reduced performance. We focus on progressive loading strategies, mobility work, and soft tissue therapy to reduce pain and restore tendon health, so you can return to activity stronger and more resilient.

Stress fractures are tiny cracks in the bone, usually caused by repetitive impact or overload—often in runners or athletes who suddenly increase their training volume. Common areas include the metatarsals, heel, and shin. At Adaptive Physiotherapy & Massage, we support healing through offloading strategies, cross-training guidance, and a graduated return-to-activity program that addresses biomechanical and strength deficits to prevent future injuries.

Shin splints are a common overuse injury that causes pain along the inner edge of the shinbone, often brought on by sudden increases in running or jumping activity. While rest can ease symptoms, long-term relief comes from identifying and addressing the contributing factors—like poor foot biomechanics, tight calf muscles, or weak hip control. Our physiotherapists help correct these imbalances and guide a structured return to training.

Foot and ankle surgeries—such as ankle reconstructions, bunion corrections, or fracture repairs—require a thorough and progressive rehab plan for optimal recovery. We provide expert guidance throughout the pre- and post-surgical phases, focusing on reducing swelling, restoring mobility, rebuilding strength, and regaining function. Our goal is to help you return to daily life and sport safely, confidently, and without setbacks
