Ankle & Foot Pain

Find your feet. Get back to what matters.

When your foot or ankle hurts, even a short walk can become something you have to plan around.

It might be the first steps in the morning, a long shift on your feet, a run you keep cutting short or an ankle that hasn’t felt right since a sprain.

At Motion, we’ll help you understand the problem and work towards moving with more comfort and confidence.

How we help

Start with understanding you.

We’ll talk about when the symptoms started, where you feel them and how they change with walking, work or exercise. If there was a particular injury, we’ll ask what happened and what you could do afterwards.

Depending on your symptoms, your assessment may include movement, strength, walking, balance and relevant clinical tests. More demanding tasks are introduced only where appropriate.

We’ll consider the whole picture and explain whether rehabilitation, further investigation or another healthcare professional is the right next step.

Understanding your symptoms

Common ankle and foot problems

Ankle and foot pain can follow an injury or develop over time. Similar symptoms can have different causes, so assessment matters.

Problems we may help assess and rehabilitate include:

If you cannot walk after an injury, have severe pain or suspect a fracture or tendon rupture, seek urgent medical advice first.

  • Ankle sprains and lingering symptoms after a sprain
  • Achilles tendon-related pain
  • Plantar heel pain, often called plantar fasciitis
  • Stiffness or reduced movement after injury
  • Running and training-related foot or ankle symptoms
  • Reduced strength or confidence when walking or balancing
  • Return to activity after injury or surgery, within medical guidance

01 / Find a starting point

First, let's get things settled.

The starting point depends on what has happened. A recent injury and a long-standing ache may need different approaches.

We can help you consider temporary changes to walking, standing or training and introduce appropriate movement as your symptoms allow. Your plan should reflect what you can currently tolerate.

We’ll also discuss when further medical assessment is needed rather than assuming every painful foot or ankle needs the same treatment.

02 / Get back to what matters

Then we'll help you take the next step.

Getting more comfortable is useful. Feeling ready for your normal day or your sport takes more than that.

Your rehabilitation may work towards:

  • Walking further and managing stairs
  • Getting through a day on your feet
  • Building balance and confidence on uneven ground
  • Returning to running, jumping or changing direction
  • Getting back to your usual exercise or sport

We’ll build towards your goals at a suitable pace and review your response. If an ankle keeps giving way or the same symptoms keep returning, we’ll consider what still needs work.
