Ankle and foot pain can occur at any age for a multitude of reasons.
It is generally more common in athletes, especially those who do a lot of running. This is due to repeated high impact absorbed by the feet and ankles and tendency for tight calf muscles. There is also an increased likelihood of ankle sprains due to awkward landings.
Unsupportive and constricting footwear, especially amongst women is also a common cause of foot pain. High heels place terrible strain on the calf muscles (as well as the lower back and hips), while flat shoes or flip flops provide inadequate support to the foot arches.
An osteopath can assess what the cause is for your ankle or foot pain. Eleni will provide effective treatment which may include massage, joint mobilisation, stretching and advice on exercises to do at home. In addition to treating the foot and ankle directly, she may also work on the hips, knees pelvis and the back, if assessment reveals contributing factors in those areas.
