It’s easy to spot the awkward hobble of a twisted ankle. Stabbing heel pain that’s worse when you stand up and pain in the arch of your foot . Ankle and foot injuries are debilitating because they impact every step you take. Ankle injuries are the second most affected body area for sports injuries, with netball being a significant contributor to the injury count.

Common ankle injuries we treat are lateral (outside) ankle sprains, Achilles tendinopathy (commonly referred to as Achilles tendinitis) and plantar fasciitis (foot).

Ankle treatment options can include custom-made orthotics, targeted home & gym-based exercise programs for stretching and strength, joint mobilisation, ergonomic workplace assessment & modification, manual therapy, dry needling, massage, hydrotherapy, CAM boots and bracing.

At Macquarie Physiotherapy, we design treatment and rehabilitation plans that help you live a pain-free, active life so you can move well and enjoy the activities you love.
