Ankle
Pain
Ankle pain is often underestimated — until it starts affecting your ability to walk, exercise, or even stand comfortably for long periods. Whether you’ve recently twisted your ankle or you’ve been dealing with ongoing pain, stiffness or instability, getting the right treatment early can make all the difference.
In the UK, ankle sprains account for up to 5% of all A&E visits, and many people who don’t fully rehab an ankle injury go on to develop chronic instability, stiffness, or recurring pain.
common causes of
ankle Pain
- Ankle sprains – from sports, slips, or uneven ground
- Ligament injuries – sometimes causing long-term instability or “rolling” of the ankle
- Tendon problems – like Achilles tendinopathy or peroneal irritation
- Joint stiffness or arthritis – particularly in people with a history of ankle injuries
- Post-surgical recovery – including rehab after fractures, ligament repairs, or ankle arthroscopy
- Overuse injuries – such as stress fractures or impingement in runners or gym-goers
Whether your pain is sharp and sudden or a dull, ongoing ache, we’re here to help get you back on your feet — quite literally.
I’ve been treated by Rhys for both rehab following an ankle fracture and also tennis elbow. Rhys always gives you the confidence and belief that you will get better. He is always professional and is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Rhys and everyone at Motion.
