Restore Strength, Function, and Mobility
Supporting Your Recovery Through Personalized Physical Therapy
Pain and weakness in the feet or lower legs can make even simple activities like walking or standing a challenge. Whether caused by injury, surgery, or a chronic condition, these issues can interfere with mobility and quality of life. Physical therapy (PT) helps restore strength, flexibility, and function—allowing you to move with greater comfort and confidence.
When Physical Therapy Helps
Physical therapy may be recommended to assist recovery from:
- Foot or ankle injuries
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Arthritis and joint inflammation
- Tendon or ligament strains
- Chronic pain or limited motion
Your doctor will determine whether PT should serve as a primary treatment or as part of a broader recovery plan.
Common Therapy Methods
A physical therapist may use one or more of the following techniques to reduce pain and restore function:
- Exercise to build strength and improve balance
- Stretching to increase flexibility and reduce stiffness
- Electrical stimulation to aid muscle recovery
- Ice and heat therapy to manage pain and swelling
- Ultrasound therapy to promote healing in soft tissues
Together, these methods help support healing, prevent reinjury, and improve overall mobility.
