FAQ's About Physical Therapy

What techniques are used in foot & ankle rehab?
We use focused exercises, stretches, manual therapy, balance training, and modalities like ultrasound or icing to reduce pain, enhance flexibility, and strengthen muscles.

How long before I feel improvement?
Most patients notice reduced pain and improved mobility within 4–6 weeks, depending on injury severity and consistency with home exercises.

Can PT prevent surgery?
Absolutely. Research shows physical therapy significantly lowers the need for foot or ankle surgery by correcting underlying issues conservatively.

Will PT help my plantar fasciitis or heel pain?
Yes. Rehab focuses on flexibility and strength to relieve tension on the plantar fascia, reduce pain, and improve function.

Do I need physical therapy after surgery?
Yes. If surgery becomes necessary, rehab speeds up recovery, prevents stiffness, rebuilds strength, and breaks down scar tissue.
