Treatment then follows three paths:
Correction of foot biomechanics – advice on footwear and/or the prescription of orthotics.
Loosening of muscle and joint structures that may be impairing or altering normal movement of the calf muscles and ankle joint. This may include mobilising or manipulating the bones of the ankle and the foot as well as stretching and releasing the muscles of the calf.
Restrengthening – this is usually done initially as an eccentric strengthening programme which progresses to include isometric, concentric and finally ballistic movements of the ankle.
