Foot and ankle injuries include ankle sprains/strains, fallen arches, tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis, shin splints and Restless Leg Syndrome.
Physical therapy Intervention for foot and ankle pain may focus on joint mobilization, ultrasound, strengthening and stretching muscles and tendons, and/or supportive orthotics.
