Ankle complaints can be caused by overload, trauma or surgery. A common ankle complaint is a sprained ankle, but Achilles tendon complaints are also common. You then have pain around the ankle or at the level of the Achilles tendon. This complaint can be treated with fysiotherapy.
The sooner you start with fysiotherapy after a sprained ankle, the faster you recover and you can function pain-free again. During rehabilitation after a sprained ankle, the emphasis is on the reduction of pain and swelling, improvement of mobility, coordination, balance and strength.
In the case of Achilles tendon complaints, it is first determined whether it is a tear of the tendon or an overload. This can be easily mapped out with ultrasound. If there is a large tear, we ask the GP for a referral to a traumatologist for further assessment and a plan of action. If it concerns overloading of the Achilles tendon, we will immediately start with fysiotherapy.
If you have had surgery on the ankle or Achilles tendon, it is important to start with fysiotherapy at the time that the treating physician gives permission for this. The same applies after a period of plaster in the event of an ankle fracture or Achilles tendon tear. The focus is on reducing pain and swelling, improving mobility, coordination, balance and strength. Fysioplein has extensive experience with this complaint. We can guide you well during your recovery.
We have developed a care plan especially for people with ankle complaints. The care plan is a personal treatment plan, in which your treatment process is tailored to your complaints. After performing a number of tests and completing questionnaires, it is determined which care plan is most suitable. There are special test and measurement instruments to measure the effects of the treatment.

During the gait analysis, your old shoes will be assessed. You have to walk up and down in front of the camera a few times to film and analyze your walking pattern. You then walk barefoot in front of the camera several times and, if necessary, in corrected shoes to judge the difference. The gait pattern is then assessed frame by frame to determine whether there is compensation from the feet, knees and/or hip/pelvis and appropriate shoe advice can be given.
