Foot Mobilisation & Manipulation 

Do you need some help with your sore feet in the Geelong, Surf Coast or The Bellarine area?

Foot Mobilisation and Manipulation Therapy (FMT) is a highly effective and specialised gentle hands-on therapy.

The practice of FMT involves assessing then treating muscles and bones by working systematically on each and every bone and joint within the foot and ankle.

While most of the treatment is focused on the foot and ankle, associated pain and dysfunction can occur further up at the knees, hips and lower back. As you can imagine, they are all connected- like a domino effect in our bodies! We will work through each of these joints with our treatment regime.

It works by improving the mobility and alignment of joints, which in turn allows muscles to work more efficiently around those joints. This establishes better movement pathways, function and can relieve pain.

FMT can form an important part of your overall treatment including a home exercise program which ultimately leads to optimal foot and lower limb health.  

If you or someone you know would benefit from FMT please let us know- as we’re here to help!
