Ankle Pain Shouldn't Sideline Your Active Life
-
Stuck in the Waiting Game
Traditional PT requires insurance referrals, weeks of waiting for appointments, and impersonal 15-minute sessions with multiple patients at once.
-
Recurring Pain That Won't Quit
You've tried rest, ice, and generic stretches, but the pain keeps coming back every time you run, jump, or push yourself at the gym.
-
Missing Out on What Matters
Every workout you skip, every race you can't run, every hike you have to cut short—ankle pain is robbing you of the active lifestyle you've worked hard to build.

Howie Rock, Local Guide
"I tried PT, a chiropractor, and an epidural shot in my spine, and nothing seemed to help my low back pain and sciatica. Dylan at Fixxed was able to diagnose and treat me over the course of 4 weeks using strength, stretching, mobility, cupping, and dry needling. I've continued the strength and mobility movements he prescribed me and have been pain free for about 6 months now. I've gone back for spot treatments on my shoulder and I trust them for any other aches and pains that will inevitably arise."

Common Questions About Our Care
1. Do I need a referral or insurance to be seen?
No! FIXXED operates on a cash-based model, which means you don't need a doctor's referral or insurance authorization. You can book online and be seen the same day. This gives you direct access to care without the typical barriers and wait times. We believe you should be in charge of your own care—the moment you decide you need it.
2. How long are your physical therapy sessions?
Our signature service is focused 20-minute bodywork sessions performed by licensed physical therapists or athletic trainers. These efficient appointments target your specific pain point with manual therapy techniques like dry needling, cupping, or Graston. We also offer full hour-long physical therapy sessions for comprehensive assessment and treatment planning.
3. What should I expect at my first appointment for ankle pain?
Your first visit includes a thorough movement assessment where we'll evaluate your ankle mobility, strength, and functional movement patterns. We'll identify the root cause of your pain—whether it's an old ankle sprain, Achilles tendinopathy, or compensation patterns from other injuries. Then we'll create a personalized treatment plan using manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and at-home exercises to get you back to your activities.
Still have questions?

4. What treatments do you use for ankle injuries?
We use a combination of evidence-based techniques including manual therapy (joint mobilization and soft tissue work), dry needling to release trigger points, cupping to improve circulation and fascial mobility, Graston technique for breaking down scar tissue, therapeutic taping, and functional strengthening exercises. Your treatment plan is customized based on your specific condition and goals.
5. Can you help with chronic ankle instability or recurring sprains?
Absolutely. Many of our patients come to us after suffering multiple ankle sprains or dealing with that feeling of their ankle 'giving out.' We address the underlying weakness, proprioception deficits, and movement patterns that contribute to chronic instability. Our performance-based approach doesn't just treat symptoms—we build strength and stability to prevent future injuries.
6. How quickly can I get an appointment?
We offer same-day booking when available. You can schedule online at any time, and we have flexible hours Monday through Sunday to accommodate your schedule. No waiting weeks for insurance authorization—if you're in pain, you can get seen right away.
