Foot and ankle pain
Physical Therapy in Boulder, CO
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 Boulder.

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 force plate testing to quantify what's happening during running, jumping, or return-to-sport movements.
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.

Return
A clear return-to-sport or return-to-activity plan, not just "how do you feel today.
"I am a collegiate sprinter who came to Brian at Revo with two navicular stress fractures that I had run on for over 6 months... Brian made sure to address all of my instabilities, weaknesses, and past injuries to ensure that we weren't just healing my stress fractures, but also preventing any injuries in the future."
— Jamie Hegg"I booked an appointment with Olivia Covin for a calf issue I had while running. She was able to properly diagnose and treat it, and give me a series of exercises to help prevent it from occurring again. I was back at full strength and running in a matter of weeks."
— Brad York"Olivia with Revo is amazing. She is very knowledgeable and has really helped me gain my mobility back. She works meticulously on my Ankles and attached muscles/ligaments to give me the full range of motion I need to keep running."
