What does a foot and ankle physio do?

A foot and ankle physio treats injuries that affect walking, running, and balance — such as sprains, tendon issues, and post-fracture recovery. They’ll assess your movement, diagnose the root cause, and build a personalised rehab plan using manual therapy, strengthening, taping, and movement retraining.

Can physio help plantar fasciitis or Achilles pain?

Yes — physiotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy. We focus on reducing inflammation, improving load tolerance, and restoring foot biomechanics to get you back on your feet without pain.

Do I need a referral for foot physio?

No referral needed. Just book online with Refine Health, and we’ll assess your foot or ankle condition and begin treatment right away. We’re also ACC-registered — so if your injury is covered, we’ll help with your claim directly.
