What is Foot Mobilisation?
Why do I need Foot Mobilisation?
How can Foot Mobilisation help me?
Soft Tissue Mobilisation is achieved by using isolated movements of soft tissue fibers, muscular or ligamentous, with the intention of improving circulation, restoring flexibility and fiber alignment. As the movement occurs this reduces any tension in the muscles and ligaments, enhancing circulation, improving neurological response, and restoring and improving the function of the tissues post-injury or post-surgery. As an added benefit it feels very relaxing and optimises recovery.
Restoration of movement leads to improved mobility whether for everyday life or for high energy activity.
Frequently Asked Questions: Foot Mobilisation
What is foot mobilisation?
Foot mobilisation is a gentle manual therapy used to restore movement, reduce pain, and support healing in the foot and lower leg. It targets soft tissues like muscles, ligaments, and fascia.
What conditions can foot mobilisation help with?
It’s commonly used to support recovery from plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, ankle sprains, general foot fatigue, and post-surgical stiffness.
How does it work?
Through precise movements, we release tension, improve circulation, reduce swelling, and restore proper alignment in soft tissues. This leads to better mobility and reduced pain.
Is foot mobilisation painful?
No – it’s a gentle and relaxing technique. Some patients even find it soothing, especially when tension in the calf and arch is relieved.
Can foot mobilisation help after surgery?
Yes. It’s especially useful after surgery to reduce swelling, improve flexibility, and prevent stiffness in the healing process.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on the condition being treated, but many patients feel noticeable benefits after a few sessions. We’ll tailor the plan to your needs.
