Introduction to Ankle Issues

Physical Therapy in Pearland, Houston for Ankle Issues

Welcome to ProActive Physical Therapy’s resource about the ankle.

Ankle AnatomyAnkle injuries can be a real pain, literally and figuratively.  Not only can they lay you up or make you hobble around, they may cause you to banish your favorite pair of stilettos to the closet or cancel that game of touch football that you had planned for the weekend.

If you are currently in pain and suffering from an ankle injury, it is important that you know the facts about this sensitive area.  After all, if your ankle injury is not given the proper attention and healed completely, you run the risk of it occurring again.

In this area of our site you will find various resources on the types of ankle injuries that you could suffer from as well as information about the steps that should be taken for fixing this problem.

Take the time and make sure you get proper attention; after all, you have better things to do than hobble around on a pair of crutches.

 How have I not rated these guys? I severely injured my ankle a few years ago. It required surgery, 5 figure surgery! This is where I went for physical therapy afterward. THESE PEOPLE, THIS PLACE, THE BEST!!!!! I really can not say enough. Both of my legs, ankles, hips are stronger today than before the injury. They know what they are doing. Learn what they teach you at the center and repeat the exercises at home (with their ok, because you don't want to overdo it too early). THANKS PROACTIVE!

 After some years of issues with plantar fasciitis, pinched nerves and surgery in my right foot; I thought that pain, limping and walking crooked was just going to be my future way of living. But, after a series of therapy sessions with Dr. Lisa and her friendly, helpful staff (Patty, Alandra, Michelle, Brittney), I am back to the normal life I had before. I’m walking straight and doing things I just couldn’t and didn’t want to do because of having constant pain and muscle spasms. I am so grateful for their patience and dedication helping me be pain-free, and I know they can help so many others as well

 Dr Katie Schif and her staff at ProActive Physical Therapy are absolutely wonderful. They helped me work though chronic plantar’s fasciitis and a fresh sprain on my other ankle. The staff are very professional, knowledgeable and caring individuals that work really hard to help with your recovery. I had difficulty walking up and down the stairs everyday. Their physical therapy plan really improved my strength, flexibility and mobility. Now I can climb stairs and walk several miles per day, pain free. ProActive Therapy also helped my youngest daughter work through a high school sports injury. They really work well as a team and I’m truly grateful. I strongly recommend their company to my friends and coworkers. Mark Crissman, U.S.Navy veteran

 Really AMAZING group of people!! I had an achilles rupture playing sports back in December and after surgery they helped me regain my strength and range of motion, they also helped be build up the rest of my leg because it had gotten so weak. I highly recommend this place because they are so welcoming, kind, helpful, understanding, they know what they’re doing and are very good at doing it.

 I started coming here for plantar fasciitis & I really enjoy my visits. My foot is already improving & the staff are wonderful. You can tell they really enjoy their jobs & working with each other. Plus they are really flexible (pun intended) with their hours & appointments. I will definitely come here again in the future if I have any other injuries.
