Corrective/Rehabilitation Exercises Programs
At Phoenix Podiatry, we offer a comprehensive Corrective and Rehabilitation Exercise Program to assist in the recovery and rehabilitation of various foot and lower limb conditions. Our program is designed to address specific conditions, improve mobility, enhance strength, and promote overall foot health.
Tailored to your needs, the exercise program is beneficial for a wide range of foot and lower limb conditions, including:
Plantar Fasciitis: Specific exercises can help stretch and strengthen the plantar fascia, reducing pain and promoting healing.
Achilles Tendonitis: Targeted exercises can aid in strengthening the Achilles tendon and surrounding muscles, improving flexibility and reducing discomfort.
Ankle Sprains: Rehabilitation exercises help restore stability, range of motion, and strength to the ankle joint after a sprain.
Shin Splints: Exercises targeting the muscles of the lower leg can alleviate pain and prevent further injury.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Our program includes tailored exercises to aid in the recovery and rehabilitation process following foot or ankle surgery.
Our podiatrists will create a customized exercise program based on your specific condition and needs. The program may include exercises such as:
Stretching: Gentle stretching exercises can improve flexibility, relieve muscle tightness, and enhance overall foot and lower limb function.
Strengthening: Targeted exercises that focus on strengthening the muscles of the feet, ankles, and lower legs can improve stability, support, and prevent future injuries.
Balance and Proprioception: Exercises that challenge balance and improve proprioception (awareness of body position) are incorporated to enhance stability and prevent falls.
Range of Motion: Specific exercises are prescribed to improve joint mobility and restore full range of motion in the affected areas.
The recovery rate varies depending on the individual and the severity of the condition. Consistent adherence to the program, along with proper guidance from our podiatrists, can lead to significant improvements over time.
To aid in your rehabilitation journey, we may recommend additional aids and devices such as orthotics, braces, or supportive footwear. These aids can provide added stability, cushioning, and support during the recovery process.
Our experienced podiatrists will closely monitor your progress throughout the program, making adjustments as needed to ensure optimal results. We are committed to providing you with the guidance, support, and resources necessary to achieve your rehabilitation goals.
