At Hurst Podiatry, we create custom rehabilitation programs to ensure you’re receiving the best and most accurate treatment to suit your condition. All of our rehabilitation programs are tailored to you, so whether you’ve got a chronic injury that you need help with managing or you have recently experienced an injury, we can create a treatment option to suit you.

Custom rehab programs are strengthening and conditioning programs made up of stretches, exercises and other activities tailored to suit your exact injury, age and level of fitness.

We choose specific activities, exercises and stretches to help you recover from a particular injury with the aim of making the injured region stronger, more flexible and more durable.

Our custom programs focus on a long term approach to make sure you not just recover from your current injury but minimise the risk of any recurrence of the injury or ongoing issues.

A custom rehabilitation program is most often required when you’ve experienced an injury to your feet and/or lower limb region.

Most of the time these injuries will be chronic or sports related, and the recovery process may take some time.

Custom rehab programs may be created to help correct existing behaviours or movements that may be causing you problems or are likely to cause you problems in the future.

All sorts of injuries maybe treated using a rehabilitation program, including soft tissue injuries, chronic lower limb injuries, or sports related injuries.

Some of the most common injuries our podiatrists put custom rehab plans together for include:

• Achilles tendinosis
• Plantar fasciitis
• Stress fractures
• Muscle tendinopathies
• Post-surgery recovery
• Ankle sprains
• Knee pain
• Hip pain
• Bursitis
• Synovitis
• Tib post dysfunction
• Ankle equinus
• Retrocalcaneal bursitis
• Shin splints/MTSS
• Ankle instability and weakness

At Hurst Podiatry we pride ourselves in our knowledge and expertise in the field of podiatry, including our ability to provide an accurate diagnosis and highly customised rehabilitation programs to our patients requiring them.

We believe in understanding your unique situation and finding the best treatment option for you, and our aim is to work with you to manage your condition, recover fully, and avoid it occurring again.

To create the perfect recovery program for you, we use a database program called Phystitrack and this database has over 10,000 exercises. So, we use a combination of these exercises and some of our own to create a program that will work for you.

We approach your foot and lower leg health holistically and like to ensure that we’re providing you with the best and most effective care to suit you and your condition.

We’re also here to answer any questions you have about your recovery process because we know that injury recovery can be difficult and at times, frustrating.
