Strength & Rehabilitation
Strength & Rehabilitation at Ace Feet in Motion
As with most injuries to the human body there is usually always an amount of rehabilitation that is needed. When dealing with lower limb injuries the demands on tissue can be very high so we must look at how we can utilise strength & rehabilitation as part of most treatment plans.
What is Strength & Rehabilitation?
We know that certain injuries respond very well to loading.
Book an appointmentThe evidence tells us that for tendon related injuries such as Achilles tendinopathy, load is an important tool in recovering. When it comes to muscles and tendon injuries we must work on improving the tissues capacity to cope with load. Your podiatrist or strength and rehab expert will issue these exercises during your assessment.
Strength and rehabilitation can also play an important role in preventing injuries from occurring again. The evidence tells us that being strong can reduce injury risk, so make sure that you are carrying out strength work alongside your regular training.
When do we use Strength & Rehabilitation?
Our podiatrists will create an individual treatment plan for every patient. This will usually include a strength programme. If insoles are issued, they are often issued alongside a strength programme. Sometimes we may opt for stability exercises, stimulation or just simple stretching depending on your needs. This will be discussed during your assessment with the podiatrist.
