Ankle Pain
at Foot Foundation
The ankle joint plays a crucial role in movement, stability, and weight-bearing. Because of the high demands placed on it, the ankle is vulnerable to injury and degenerative change. Whether caused by a sports injury, chronic instability, arthritis, or tendon dysfunction, ankle pain can significantly limit activity and mobility.
At Foot Foundation, we provide specialist diagnosis and evidence-based treatment for all forms of ankle pain. Our team combines podiatry and physiotherapy expertise with advanced therapies such as orthotics, shockwave therapy, rehabilitation, and exercise prescription.
Common Causes of Ankle Pain
Ankle Sprains – ligament injury from rolling or twisting the ankle
Chronic Ankle Instability – repeated sprains leading to ongoing weakness and instability
Ankle Arthritis – degenerative joint changes causing pain and stiffness
Osteochondral Lesions – cartilage and bone injury inside the ankle joint
Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD) – weakening of the tendon supporting the arch, leading to flatfoot and ankle pain

Our approach to Ankle Pain
At Foot Foundation, our approach to Ankle Pain begins with a thorough assessment to identify the exact cause of your symptoms and understand how your ankle function, movement patterns, and load tolerance may be contributing to the problem.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed, we create a personalised treatment plan focused on reducing pain, improving stability, restoring movement, and supporting long-term function. Depending on your presentation, treatment may include biomechanical assessment, gait analysis, orthotic therapy, shockwave therapy, strengthening programmes, strapping, and structured rehabilitation. In more complex cases, we also work closely with orthopaedic and sports medicine specialists to help guide the next stage of care.
Our goal is not only to settle your current ankle pain, but also to improve strength, stability, and confidence so you can return to daily activity, exercise, and sport more comfortably.
