Regardless of what kind of career you have or even how active you are, your feet are one of your most relied upon body parts. As healthy adults, we are prone to taking our feet, legs, and other limbs for granted. That is, until they start to become a problem. Unfortunately, there are thousands of people throughout the United States who suffer from aching feet and ankles. There are a wide range of causes of foot pain, from general wear and tear on the body to poor posturing, injury, or even childhood foot abnormalities. Many people choose to ignore foot pain, especially when it is minor and only occurs from time to time.

Foot pain oftentimes rears its ugly head for people when they are walking, running, and/or exercising, which can dramatically impact an individual’s overall quality of life. Fortunately, the source of foot pain can be discovered by a quick evaluation of the feet. In some cases, the cause of foot problems may be overpronation and flat feet, both of which can lead to extreme stress on the inner structures of the foot, causing the foot to have to rely on other muscles and bones to walk and run. This is where we come in. Classic Rehab offers ankle and foot physical therapy for residents in Grand Prairie and the surrounding areas. These services aim to help individuals suffering from a wide range of foot problems get back on their feet (pun intended) and improve their quality of life.
