Ankle and foot complaints
Does your ankle or foot hurt?
Ankle and foot problems are unpleasant. They make every step painful, climbing stairs difficult, and exercising or walking like you used to nearly impossible.
And your feet carry you all day long. Maybe you’ve sprained your ankle. Or you feel pain under your foot when you take your first steps in the morning. Or your ankle feels unstable after a previous injury. Sometimes it develops gradually without any obvious cause.
Time to find out what’s going on and how we can fix it. No complicated stories about plantar fasciitis or chronic ankle instability. Just a clear explanation of what we see and what we’re going to do. We examine your ankle and foot, discuss your symptoms, and create a treatment plan that suits you.

What our friends say
The treatment
What can you expect when you visit our practice with ankle and foot problems?
When you come in with ankle or foot complaints, we start with a thorough consultation. How did the complaints arise? Where do you feel pain? What can you still do and what can you no longer do? And how does it affect your daily life? We will then examine your ankle and foot thoroughly: movement, strength, stability, and balance.
We observe how you walk and stand, as this often reveals a lot about your problem. We also examine your knee, hip, and posture, since they can influence your ankle and foot.
Based on all this information, we draw up a treatment plan. This often consists of exercises for strength and stability, balance training to strengthen your ankle, and specific training to enable you to walk, run, or play sports again.
For acute complaints, we sometimes also use tape to support your ankle. In addition, we provide advice on footwear, surfaces, and load building. The goal: to get you back on your feet, strong and pain-free.

FAQ
These questions are frequently asked
How many treatments do I usually need?
That depends on your complaint. An acute ankle sprain can heal within 4-6 weeks with proper treatment. Chronic foot complaints such as heel spurs or plantar fasciitis can take longer, sometimes several months. After surgery or a fracture, the duration depends on the severity. We will discuss this after your first appointment.
Can I do ankle and foot exercises myself?
Yes, absolutely. We will give you targeted exercises for strength, mobility, and especially stability. Balance exercises are often very important for making your ankle stronger and more stable. Exercising at home speeds up your recovery.
Do I need to wear special shoes?
That depends on your complaint. Sometimes we recommend temporarily wearing sturdier shoes or insoles. We will work with you to determine what is best for your situation and provide advice on footwear.
Can I also visit in the evening or on weekends?
Yes, we are also available in the evenings. That way, you can always find a time that suits you.
Is physical therapy for ankle and foot problems covered?
