Foot and Ankle Rehabilitation
Evidence-based rehab to reduce pain, restore movement, and get you back to activity. We assess mechanics and load, then tailor a plan using targeted exercise alongside modalities such as shockwave, orthotic therapy, manual therapy and more—the same standards across Pinehill, Takapuna, Remuera, Botany, Hamilton, and Tauranga.
Treatment Options
Choose from proven therapies matched to your diagnosis—shockwave therapy, orthotic therapy, pre/post-operative rehabilitation, pre-pointe assessments & pointe shoe fittings, dry needling, strapping & bracing, manual therapy/foot mobilisation, and footwear advice & modifications. Your clinician will combine the right options with exercise and load management for faster recovery and durable results.
Shockwave Therapy
High-energy sound waves stimulate healing, reduce pain and break down scar tissue for stubborn tendon and fascia conditions.
Orthotic Therapy
Custom-prescribed insoles improve alignment, reduce overload and support comfortable movement in daily life and sport.
Pre/Post Operative Rehabilitation
Structured programmes build strength before surgery and restore mobility, balance and function afterwards.
Pre-Pointe Assessments
Dance-specific screening ensures safe readiness for pointe by assessing strength, flexibility, alignment and control.
Pointe Shoe Fittings
Expert fittings match shoe design to foot type and technique to enhance performance and reduce injury risk.
Dry Needling
Fine needles release trigger points in tight muscles to relieve pain, reduce tension and improve function.
Strapping and Bracing
Targeted support stabilises joints, reduces strain and aids recovery during activity and rehabilitation.
