Foot Mobilisation Therapy

Foot Mobilisation Therapy (FMT) is a manual therapy technique that aims to restore normal function to the foot and lower limb by addressing the underlying cause of dysfunction. Unlike other treatments that may focus solely on symptom relief, FMT targets the root cause of pain and discomfort, promoting long-term healing and improved foot health.

How Does Foot Mobilisation Therapy Work?

FMT involves a series of hands-on techniques including joint mobilisations, soft tissue manipulations, and specific exercises designed to improve the alignment, movement, and function of the foot. By applying gentle and precise movements to the joints and soft tissues, our skilled podiatrists can correct structural imbalances, enhance mobility, and alleviate pain.

Key Components of Foot Mobilisation Therapy

  1. Joint Mobilisation: This involves the gentle movement of joints to improve range of motion, reduce stiffness, and correct misalignments.
  2. Soft Tissue Manipulation: Techniques such as massage and myofascial release help to relax tight muscles and improve blood flow.
  3. Corrective Exercises: Tailored exercises strengthen the foot and lower limb muscles, support proper alignment, and prevent future issues.
  4. Biomechanical Assessment: A thorough evaluation of your foot biomechanics to identify any abnormalities or dysfunctions that need to be addressed.

Conditions Treated with Foot Mobilisation Therapy

FMT is effective in treating a wide range of foot and lower limb conditions, including:

  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Heel Spurs
  • Bunions
  • Achilles Tendonitis
  • Metatarsalgia
  • Morton’s Neuroma
  • Ankle Sprains
  • Flat Feet and High Arches
  • Arthritis
  • General Foot and Ankle Pain
  •  

Benefits of Foot Mobilisation Therapy

  • Pain Relief: Reduces pain and discomfort by addressing the underlying cause.
  • Improved Mobility: Enhances joint and muscle function, leading to better movement and flexibility.
  • Non-Invasive: A safe and effective alternative to surgery or medications.
  • Holistic Approach: Treats the entire foot and lower limb, not just isolated symptoms.

What to Expect During Your FMT Session

At Elite Foot Care, your FMT session begins with a comprehensive assessment of your foot and lower limb biomechanics. Our podiatrist will take the time to understand your specific condition, medical history, and any symptoms you are experiencing. The treatment process is as follows:

  1. Assessment: Detailed examination of your foot structure, movement patterns, and any areas of pain or dysfunction.
  2. Personalised Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment, a customised treatment plan will be developed to address your specific needs.
  3. Mobilisation Techniques: Application of joint mobilisations, soft tissue manipulations, and corrective exercises.
  4. Education and Advice: Guidance on footwear, orthotics, and lifestyle modifications to support your recovery and prevent recurrence.
  5. Follow-Up: Regular follow-up sessions to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
