Ankle & Foot

Your feet carry you around all day, every day. So when there is a problem with or injury to your feet or ankles, your daily life is altered, and getting around becomes a real pain. Physical therapy is typically the first-line treatment for many foot and ankle problems, from injuries, joint instability, and strains to post-surgical rehabilitation. At Vita Fitness & Physical Therapy, we aim to get you back on your feet, doing pain-free activities you love.

Conditions

Achilles Tendinitis

Achilles tendonitis is an overuse injury characterized by pain in the lower calf or back of the heel. It occurs when the structures in your Achilles tendon are unprepared to handle the load applied through the area.

Fractures & Broken Ankle

A broken or fractured ankle is an injury to the bone usually as a result of twisting the foot due to a simple misstep or fall, or from direct trauma (i.e. swift turn while downhill skiing or car crash).

Plantar Fasciitis

The plantar fascia is a thick connective tissue that provides arch support for the foot, which connects the ball of the foot to the heel. When this band becomes overloaded, the foot can swell and make it difficult or impossible to walk without pain.

Sprains & Strains

Ankle sprains and strains are common injuries from a fall, slip, playing sports, running, or just walking and tripping on rough surfaces. A lateral (inversion) ankle sprain (rolling of the ankle) is the most common cause of injury.

Treatments

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy involves a range of hands-on techniques performed by our skilled therapists. These techniques aim to promote healing, improve mobility, reduce pain, and restore optimal function. With a personalized approach, our therapists utilize various manual therapy techniques to address specific needs and conditions.

Therapeutic Exercise and Activity

Therapeutic exercise and activity are modalities that play a crucial role in restoring function, improving strength, flexibility, and endurance, and promoting overall physical well-being. Therapeutic exercise is focused on addressing specific impairments and restoring strength and flexibility while therapeutic activity targets overall functional abilities and promotes independence in daily activities.

Neuromuscular Re-education

Neuromuscular re-education is a specialized technique to improve coordination, control, and function of muscles and nerves. Our therapists use this technique to restore proper muscle activation, improve balance and proprioception, and enhance overall movement quality. By stimulating the neuromuscular system, patients can regain functional abilities and improve their quality of life.
