Exercise Rehabilitation at the Foot & Ankle Centre provides structured, clinically guided programmes designed to restore strength, flexibility, balance, and function after injury, surgery, or chronic foot and ankle conditions. Tailored rehabilitation is essential for long-term recovery, helping patients rebuild mobility, prevent reinjury, and return to daily activities or sport with confidence.

Our specialist clinicians assess each patient’s condition, biomechanics, and goals before creating a personalised rehabilitation plan. This may include targeted strengthening exercises, stretching routines, balance and proprioception training, gait retraining, and functional movement drills. Exercise rehabilitation is beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon injuries, flat feet, post-surgical recovery, and arthritis.

At the Foot & Ankle Centre, exercise rehabilitation is integrated with hands-on therapies, orthotics, shockwave treatment, and lifestyle guidance to ensure a comprehensive and effective recovery process. Our aim is to support long-term health, improved mobility, and lasting pain relief.

FAQs

What is exercise rehabilitation?

A personalised programme of targeted exercises to support recovery after injury or surgery—improving strength, flexibility, balance, and movement patterns to restore normal function.

What conditions benefit from exercise rehabilitation?

Ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis or rupture, flat feet/overpronation, post-operative recovery, shin splints, tendon and ligament injuries, and chronic foot and ankle pain.

Why is exercise rehabilitation important?

It speeds recovery, improves joint and muscle function, reduces pain and stiffness, prevents future injuries, corrects poor movement habits, and supports long-term foot and ankle health.

What does a rehabilitation session involve?

Strengthening exercises, stretching routines, balance and proprioception training, gait retraining, mobility drills, and functional movement exercises. The programme progresses as you improve.

How many sessions will I need?

It varies by condition. Some need 3–6 sessions; others require longer-term programmes over several weeks or months.

Is exercise rehabilitation painful?

Exercises should not be painful, though mild discomfort can occur when working injured tissues. Clinicians ensure movements are safe and appropriate.

Can exercise rehabilitation be combined with other treatments?

Yes—often paired with shockwave therapy, ultrasound-guided injections, orthotics, manual therapy, or myofascial release for better outcomes.

Is rehabilitation suitable after surgery?

Absolutely. Post-surgical rehab is essential for regaining strength, mobility, and full function, tailored to your procedure and healing stage.

Can exercise rehabilitation help athletes return to sport?

Yes. Sport-specific rehab rebuilds strength, technique, and confidence, reducing reinjury risk and improving performance.
