Foot & Ankle Physical Therapy in St. Augustine
Plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains, or persistent heel pain limiting every step? Get targeted rehabilitation that addresses how your foot, ankle, and entire lower chain move together.
Why It Matters
Understanding your recovery
Foot and ankle pain rarely stays isolated. Stiff ankles change your gait, overloaded arches strain the plantar fascia, and compensations travel up to the knee, hip, and back. Generic foot exercises miss the movement patterns keeping you stuck. Nicole evaluates your whole lower-body chain — mobility, strength, balance, and footwear mechanics — to treat the source of your symptoms, not just where it hurts.

- Private, one-on-one sessions — Nicole's full attention for the full hour.

- Manual therapy techniques integrated with therapeutic movement.
- Modalities: Alpha-Stim and Dolphin Neurostim for pain and inflammation.
- Therapeutic Pilates on Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Oov, and Konnector.
