Foot and ankle pain

Physical Therapy in Denver, CO

A physical therapist uses a handheld ultrasound device on a patient's ankle in a physiotherapy clinic.

Your feet and ankles absorb every step, run, and ride — so when something's off, it rarely stays isolated. A tight calf can drive plantar fasciitis. A weak hip can lead to a rolled ankle. Old sprains that never fully healed often become the root of "unrelated" pain months later.

At Revo, a Doctor of Physical Therapy spends a full 60 minutes assessing your foot and ankle mechanics alongside your gait, hip strength, and movement patterns — not just the spot that hurts. Where it helps, we use gait analysis and motion capture to see exactly what's happening when you walk, run, or ride.

This is one of our specialized physical therapy services. See our full Physical Therapy approach in Denver.

Our approach

Assess

A full movement and strength evaluation to understand your history, your goals, and how your pain is actually behaving.

Analyze

When needed, we use motion capture and EMG to quantify what's happening during running, jumping, or return-to-sport movements.

“Been seeing Ryan for an ankle/achilles issue for about 2.5 months now and he's the best PT I've ever seen and I've seen a lottttt of PTs. He listens to me when I'm frustrated, makes an exact plan for me with specific goals and timelines, and pushes me so that I can actually make progress. He's extremely knowledgable and has a great attitude every time. Go see him and the crew at Revo!”

“Matthew and his team were fantastic. I was given a grim prognosis post my Achilles tear in late March of 2025 and Matthew got me back to where I want to be, only a few months later. Incredible! Grateful to his help and all Revo has to offer. Highly recommend!”

Treat

Hands-on manual therapy paired with a progressive, sport-specific strengthening program. Shockwave therapy is available for stubborn cases like chronic plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendinopathy.

“The Revo team has been fantastic. I’m thrilled by the progress I’ve made in physical therapy after dealing with pesky achilles and knee issues for years. Ryan has helped me set goals, identify problem areas and match PT exercises to them, and gradually increase my activity level and intensity. I feel much more confident in the mountains, running, and even moving through daily activities. Can’t recommend Ryan enough!”
