movement<\/b><\/h2><p>Foot and ankle problems can affect walking, standing, stairs, exercise and sport. Symptoms may begin after a twist or fall, develop following surgery or appear gradually as activity levels change.<\/p><p>A foot and ankle assessment looks at movement, strength, balance and how the foot and ankle respond to everyday activity. Physiotherapy can help with common problems including ankle sprains, plantar heel pain, Achilles tendon pain and foot or ankle arthritis.<\/p><h2><b>When a foot or ankle assessment may help<\/b><\/h2><p>You may benefit from an assessment if you are experiencing:<\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Ankle pain or stiffness<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Pain around the heel or arch of the foot<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Achilles tendon pain<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Repeated ankle sprains<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">A feeling that the ankle is unstable<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Swelling following an injury<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Difficulty walking or standing for longer periods<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Pain when using stairs<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Reduced ankle movement<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Weakness following an injury<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Pain during running or sport<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Difficulty balancing on one leg<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Foot or ankle pain after increasing activity<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Reduced mobility after surgery<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Difficulty returning to exercise<\/li><\/ul><p>Foot and ankle pain can occur suddenly following an injury or develop gradually over time, so the treatment approach depends on how the symptoms started and how they currently affect movement.<\/p><h2><b>Understanding foot and ankle pain<\/b><\/h2><p>The foot and ankle need to manage body weight repeatedly during standing, walking, running and changes of direction.<\/p><p>A problem in this area may affect more than the painful movement itself.
