Find Relief With Our Foot Pain Specialist
Are you searching the Internet for ‘foot therapist near me’ because your foot, ankle or Achilles, is experiencing pain that is making you walk with a limp or hesitation, stopping you from running or walking long distance, making you the feel like you have poor balance and making you feel like you can’t engage in the activities you enjoy?

Why Our Approach to Foot Pain Treatment is Different:
Treat the Cause not the Symptoms:
How many times have you released the same tight spot with a tennis ball, specific stretch or foam roller? Have you ever wondered why the same spots repeatedly become tight or painful? Or, if you have sought treatment for chronic pain or an injury, how often do practitioners go straight to the site of pain? Or you feel better for a few days after the treatment and then the pain returns?
This is because these short-term relief aids only focus on the symptoms and site of pain. The site of pain is often simply the physical evidence that the body is compensating for something and is therefore no longer balanced.
Instead, we need to ask what is making your foot/ankle overwork in the first place?
At From the Ground Up Physiotherapy, our foot pain specialists use a comprehensive and progressive foot pain therapy approach that listens to the clues in your story, finds the true cause of your problem, eases your pain and focuses on building your resilience so the problem does not re-occur.
At the heart of our approach, we strive to understand your story and design a movement plan that will be of true value to you in your everyday life according to your goals, rather than just popping you on a machine and handing you generic exercises.
At the initial assessment, we start by:
​
-
Reviewing your previous injuries, surgeries, scars, and trouble spots as we put together a complete history of your physical condition.
​
-
Conducting a digital foot and center of mass analysis using the latest technology to give us a detailed picture of what is going on with your musculoskeletal system.
​
-
Making sense of your movement habits using our objective assessment so we can get straight to the root cause.
​
-
Explaining to you clearly with no big fancy words your problem.
​
-
Designing a stepwise plan for complete clarity on what you need to do and how to get back to what’s most important for you.
For your foot & ankle pain treatment, we use a combination of effective hands on physiotherapy to ease your pain quickly while delivering a tailored movement plan that addresses your specific limitations.
By taking you through a step by step plan to progressively increase the load on your body, we can ensure that you return to the activities you love doing with thoughtless, fearless movement.
