Hip, Knee, Ankle and Foot Pain Treatment
You can have problems with your hips, knees, ankles, or feet on their own, or find that problems with these joints affect each other. Pain might come from injury, lack of activity, or wear and tear. Uneven use of your body from work tasks or habits like standing on one leg can also cause problems.
Sometimes leg and ankle pain relates to how your body developed. Having one leg longer than the other, flat feet, high arches, or hypermobility can all cause issues.
We perform detailed assessments that look at how your legs and feet work together. We’ll give you a clear diagnosis, treatment plan, and rehabilitation programme.

What your pain feels like
Pain varies depending on which joint or muscle is affected. Because your legs bear weight, you’ll often have trouble moving normally as putting weight through sore areas hurts. Swelling, redness, stiffness, and weakness are common with leg and ankle problems.
How We Treat Hip, Knee, Ankle and Foot Pain
We start by assessing what’s causing your pain using standard tests to check your joint movement and give you a diagnosis. Sometimes we may refer you for further tests or scans.
Our osteopathic treatment includes soft tissue massage to ease tight muscles and joint techniques to restore normal movement. Depending on your injury, we might use dry needling to improve blood flow and healing.
We’ll prescribe specific exercises to help your recovery and prevent the problem returning. Our osteopaths focus on treating the whole leg and foot as a unit, not just the painful area.
