Foot Pain & Injury

FOOT PAIN AND INJURY TREATMENT IN LANARKSHIRE.

Foot injuries are common and can range from sprains and strains to fractures and overuse conditions. Whether caused by sports, daily activities, or poor footwear, foot problems can have a significant impact on your mobility and quality of life. Team MT are experienced physiotherapists here to help you get to the root of the issue and create a personalised treatment plan to help you recover and get back on your feet as quickly and safely as possible.​

​

HOW IS THE FOOT STRUCTURED?​

 

Your foot is a highly intricate structure, made up of 26 bones divided into three sections: the hindfoot (or rearfoot), the midfoot, and the forefoot. Muscles, tendons, and ligaments work together to support these bones and joints, allowing your feet to bear your entire body weight while you walk, run, and jump—activities commonly seen in sports. However, despite this remarkable design, trauma and stress can still lead to fractures, ligament sprains, and other foot injuries.

​

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF FOOT PAIN AND INJURIES?

 

Foot injuries are common, especially in sports involving sudden stops, quick direction changes, tackles, and unpredictable movements. These types of activities can put significant strain on the foot, leading to pain and injury.

​

Team MT commonly see injuries such as:

​

• Metatarsal fractures

• Stress fractures

• Ligament tears

• Toe injuries

• Sesamoiditis

• Lisfranc joint injury

• Calcaneal issues, like Sever’s disease

• Tendinopathy (e.g., peroneal tendons)

• Plantar fasciitis

​

No matter the issue, we’re here to help assess, diagnose, and create a tailored recovery plan to get you back to doing what you love. Where your injury may present out with our scope of practice, we can help with onward referral to specialists such as podiatrists.
