Foot Mobilisation

Our Musculoskeletal Podiatrists are uniquely trained in using world class soft tissue and joint mobilisation techniques that will help you feel immediate relief from painful stiff joints and improvement in your overall mobility.

Foot Mobilisation

Patients who have foot mobilisation often report immediate improvement in mobility and a reduction in pain. Both of which help them in carrying out pain free activity.

Foot Mobilisation Techniques (FMT) is a manual therapy performed by our Specialist Musculoskeletal Podiatrist that is used to improve foot and ankle function by targeting stiff, misaligned or dysfunctional joints and soft tissue injury and restriction. This type of therapy involves finding and treating the cause of your pain rather than just the symptoms.

Foot mobilisation involves the gentle movement of the joints to stretch the articular surfaces and surrounding joint soft tissue in order to promote repair and improve function.

What conditions benefit from FMT?

  • Ankle sprains, instability, impingement
  • Bunions
  • Claw, mallet, retracted and hammer toes
  • Cuboid syndrome
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Morton’s neuroma
  • Plantar fasciitis/fasciopathy
  • Achilles tendonitis/tendinopathy
  • Calf pain
 

If you feel you would benefit from Foot Mobilisation Techniques then you will firstly need to book an Initial Musculoskeletal Consultation with our Specialist Musculoskeletal Podiatrist.

Often combined with some or all of the following therapies to optimise the outcome of treatment:

We got a same day appointment. Mike had fungal nail infection, an open wound and painful Athlete’s foot. These were all greatly improved after the initial visit. It felt quite miraculous! Not cheap but well worth the money.

I went to Active Step after trying over the counter products as well as other podiatrists for years while my condition was getting worse instead of better. The service I got at Active Step couldn't have been any better and I've just been discharged successfully after 12 months of treatment. Jim, Zoe, Sophie and the rest of the team are not only highly professional, but also very personable and I cannot recommend them enough.
