Foot Pain Physical Therapy

Foot pain can make walking, standing, exercising, or simply getting through the day uncomfortable. It may develop from overuse, injury, weakness, limited mobility, poor mechanics, or irritation of the muscles, joints, tendons, and connective tissues of the foot and ankle.

Physical Therapy for Foot Pain Relief

Because the foot is part of a larger movement system, your Doctor of Physical Therapy evaluates not only where you hurt, but also how your ankles, knees, hips, strength, mobility, and movement patterns may be contributing to your symptoms.

Without healthy, pain-free feet, everyday life can become extremely challenging. Our feet are so important! They allow us to get from one spot to the next. Without good, healthy, pain free feet life can become extremely challenging.

We want you to know that we understand what you are going through and we want to help!

This is why we have created lots of FREE resources for you. There are many different stretches and strengthening exercises that can help to alleviate some of the pain.

Be sure to look over our tips for plantar fasciitis, an ankle sprain, or Achilles tendinopathy, if you are experiencing any of those!

Impact Physical Therapy wants to help you get back to an active life without resorting to braces, injections and surgery.

They really work with you to get you better and that community feel is what I always look for in businesses.

I started coming in only when I was getting hurt. Then I noticed if I came in for prevention, that was the game changer.

Chris

I have been coming here for a month now and my life has changed. They have taught me so much about not being afraid to move and learning how to move.

Connie

It’s so nice that you are one-on-one with a physical therapist and are getting 100% attention from them.

Diane

I did my first ever marathon and my piriformis was killing me. It was hurting with every step. We did cupping, dry needling, and manual work. Standing here right now I feel like honestly, I could run again!

Dr. Elmquist

The reason I enjoy coming to Impact Physical Therapy is that the treatments that you receive here are going to be one-on-one whether or not you come for 30 or 60 minutes.

Dr. Sarah has excellent communication skills. She was able to listen to me well enough to know where exactly where my greatest pain was.

After one session at Impact, I already felt better than after the months of physical therapy I was doing in San Francisco.
