Your lower limbs need to be balanced and aligned in order for the chain of hip, knee, ankle and foot to work properly. If you have an injury that keeps coming back, it is likely that some part of the chain is "out of sync", and this is where physiotherapy can help. Apart from treating the immediate injury, we can examine your whole limb to correct the root cause.
Of course, we are also here to speed you to recovery after any muscle or ligament injury, whether sporting or purely accidental...!
One-off injuries and sports injuries can cause bruising, swelling and pain. Don't risk further damaging yourself, follow the R.I.C.E. method, as featured on our general advice page.
If your symptoms persist, or for professional advice on what you should and shouldn't be doing with your condition, always ring your physiotherapist. You can find our full contact details here.
