Common musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions affecting the ankle and foot include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, sprains, and arthritis. Physical therapy exercises help by improving strength, flexibility, and stability in the ankle and foot. These exercises enhance joint mobility, reduce inflammation, and promote healing by increasing blood flow. Strengthening the surrounding muscles supports the foot's arch and stabilizes the ankle, preventing re-injury and improving balance, making daily activities easier and reducing pain from common conditions.
