Does Your Foot Need a Foot Therapist?
Understanding when foot therapy is the right next step for your podiatric care plan.
"Foot therapy" — a combination of physical therapy, gait retraining, and manual therapy specific to the foot and ankle — can be a powerful add-on to traditional podiatric care. It's especially valuable after surgery, after injury, and for chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis that haven't fully responded to rest and orthotics.
Signs you might benefit: persistent pain that returns after each rest period, weakness or instability that affects your sport, difficulty regaining range of motion after a cast or surgery, or chronic conditions that haven't improved with 6+ weeks of conservative care.
At WeTreatFeet we coordinate with experienced foot-focused physical therapists in each of our service areas. Ask your podiatrist whether foot therapy should be part of your treatment plan.
