No
area of the body takes as much
punishment and abuse as the foot and
ankle.
People spend millions of dollars
a year on inserts, specialized shoes, and
supports, and make countless visits to
their Doctor’s office for problems
relating to the foot and ankle.
It has been said “That
when your feet hurt your whole body
hurts”.
Foot and ankle problems can be
some of the more frustrating conditions
to have to live with. Problems such as plantar fascitis, Achilles tendonitis,
compartment syndromes, and posterior
tibialis tendonitis must not only be
treated directly, but the underlying
cause of the problem must be discovered.
If the mechanical dysfunction
that caused the problem initially is not
resolved, the symptoms will generally
return.
Treatment with ASTYMadvantage Edge™ has been an important addition to our
treatment arsenal against these
problems.
Performed by a Certified ASTYM
Physical Therapist, this program of
tissue mobilization allows more precise
treatment and quicker recovery of
function.
Following resolution of pain, the
functional deficits that cause the pain
can be addressed and a precise program
of exercise performed to abolish these
weaknesses and prevent recurrence.
