Ankle and foot pain can often present as instability or weakness on weight-bearing.

 

The most common cause of ankle pain is a sprain, usually this will settle with rest.

​

Another cause could be altered biomechanics of the foot, there are a lot of bones and joints that make up the foot and ankle. If these become restricted that can cause poor mobility and discomfort.

 

Treatment involves relaxing the surrounding soft tissue and improving the mobility of the joints.
