PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR THE FEET
Manual Physical Therapy for Foot Pain & Injuries in NYC
IS FOOT PHYSICAL THERAPY RIGHT FOR YOU?
For athletes and runners, your feet bear the weight (literally) of your movements. That's why it's crucial to recover from a foot injury (or prevent one) and comprehend its root cause and impact on your entire body.
Our physical therapists take a comprehensive approach to your treatment, examining your body holistically to address your current foot issues and prevent further injury that may affect your whole body.
If you're deciding whether foot physical therapy is suitable for you, here are some common symptoms we treat:
IMMOBILITY
Foot injuries can cause high levels of discomfort and stiffness that make movement and exercise difficult.
PAIN
Prolonged swelling, redness, and inflexibility often accompany foot pain, making living comfortably a challenge.
DISRUPTION
You might find daily activities, including walking, exercising, and socializing, don't come easy.
EXPANSION
Foot injuries often lead to issues in the ankles, legs, knees, and beyond.
“MOTIV is filled with a smart, kind and energetic team. They know the human anatomy as well as the human mind, so they know when to push and when not to push. It is such a pleasure working with a team that really works hard to make sure that my body is in the best shape possible both short and long term.”
