Physical therapy for ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles pain in Burlington, NC
Your feet and ankles are your foundation. When they hurt, everything above them — knees, hips, back — starts to compensate. Whether you rolled an ankle, wake up with heel pain, or have an Achilles that will not settle down, our physical therapist will restore your mobility, strength, and balance so you can walk, run, and play with confidence.
Common conditions we treat
- Ankle sprains and chronic ankle instability
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Shin splints and stress reactions
- Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction and arch pain
- Post-fracture or post-surgical ankle and foot stiffness
- Foot and ankle mobility limitations affecting balance and the golf swing
How we help
- A thorough one-hour evaluation to find the true source of your pain — not just where it hurts
- Hands-on manual therapy, dry needling, cupping, and soft-tissue work to reduce pain and restore motion
- Individualized strength and mobility programming you can do at home or in the gym (delivered through the Physitrack app)
- Education on posture, movement habits, and activity modification so you stay better once you are better
- Clear return-to-sport, return-to-work, and return-to-golf progressions
What to expect
Your first visit is a full hour: we assess ankle and foot mobility, strength, balance, and how you walk, run, or load the foot in your sport. Treatment starts immediately and progresses from calming irritated tissue to rebuilding strength and stability so the problem does not return.
