Hoping to Optimise Your Foot Health?
People often don’t appreciate the value of healthy feet and the mobility they provide until problems develop. Our ankles are crucial to our lower limb movement, allowing us to walk, run, jump, bend, twist, and turn.. But despite our ankles’ importance, injuries or wear and tear can occur, reminding us of the importance of looking after them.
At Kilmore Wellness Centre, we have a passionate, highly skilled multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including our experienced Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Myotherapists, Exercise Physiologists, Podiatrists, and Pilates instructors. This provides you with options that cater to your requirements and goals. Whether you come in for Physiotherapy or for a combination of care services, we aim to help you feel supported and well-cared for in our holistic evidence- based environment. Please book online or contact our team today!

Foot Pain FAQs
Will I always have weak ankles?
Some people are predisposed to ankle injuries and pain. This may be due to factors such as biomechanics, genetics, and lifestyle.
This may be a long- term issue for many, but that does not mean a management plan is not suitable. We can work towards improving your strength, flexibility, balance, and range of motion to potentially optimise your ankle function and minimise risk of further issues.
I have been resting, but my ankle is still hurting. Why?
Rest is often a vital factor in recovery for many injuries and conditions. However, it may not be enough, or it may be the opposite of what your injury needs. Your therapist will develop a plan to potentially help you towards relief that incorporates the specific requirements of your issue.
I have had ankle pain for years. Is surgery the only answer?
Surgery may help in some circumstances. However, physical and manual therapy and rehabilitation programs may be appropriate and beneficial for many problems, even for chronic and persistent issues.
