An ankle that's never felt right since a sprain
Ankle impingement happens when soft tissue or bone gets pinched at the front or back of the ankle joint as it moves. It often follows repeated ankle sprains or long-term stiffness.
Sports with lots of kicking, jumping, landing or deep squatting put the most load through the area.
Range of movement, stability and how the rest of your leg is working.
Mobilisation, manipulation and soft tissue work to restore movement.

Do I need a referral from my GP?
No. You can book directly. If I think you need a scan or a GP's opinion, I'll tell you.
Will my health insurance cover it?
Most major insurers don't cover sports therapy, but some smaller providers that cover alternative therapies will refund your fees. Check with your insurer.
What should I wear?
No specific clothing is required
A rough description is plenty. I'll get back to you as soon as I'm out of clinic.
