Ankle and Foot

At Therapy SPOT – Bellaire, we specialize in foot and ankle rehabilitation, focusing on restoring pain-free function and mobility for all standing and movement activities. As the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) states, “Your feet… are quite literally your foundation.” This emphasizes the critical importance of the foot and ankle in maintaining overall body function.

The foot and ankle are incredibly complex, comprising 26 bones and more than 30 joints, and they play crucial roles throughout each phase of walking, running, and standing. They act as shock absorbers upon contact with the ground and rigid levers during push-off. For these structures to perform optimally, they require adequate range of motion and strength. When these essential components are lacking, the body often compensates by altering movement patterns, which can lead to stress and injury in other areas—ultimately causing breakdown in the joints and tendons.

Common foot and ankle conditions we treat include:

• Bunions
• Morton’s Neuroma
• Tendinopathy
• Cuboid Syndrome
• Stress Fractures
• Jogger’s Foot
• Sinus Tarsi Syndrome

Our team of Doctors of Physical Therapy and fellowship-trained clinicians is committed to identifying the root causes of foot and ankle dysfunction. Using a “bottom-up” approach, we focus on treating foot and ankle disorders first, as this often provides the best foundation for improving overall movement and preventing further injuries throughout the body.

At Therapy SPOT – Bellaire, we design customized rehabilitation programs that address each patient’s unique needs. Our therapy interventions aim to restore:

• Range of Motion: Ensuring that your foot and ankle can move freely to prevent compensatory patterns that lead to pain.
• Strength: Building strength in the muscles that support the foot and ankle for efficient movement and stability.
• Pain Relief: Reducing pain and inflammation to allow you to return to normal activities without discomfort.

By targeting the foot and ankle, we aim to improve your overall movement patterns and ensure that you can perform all your daily activities pain-free. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or looking to prevent future issues, Therapy SPOT – Bellaire is here to help.
