Foot & ankle injuries
Sprains that never fully healed, plantar pain, stress injuries — one therapist, hands on, start to finish.
Every step reports in. No two arrive the same way.
The rolled ankle
A sprain that “healed” months ago but still swells, aches, or gives way on uneven ground.
First steps of the day
Heel or arch pain that’s worst the moment you get out of bed and eases as you warm up.
Pain when you push off
The Achilles or forefoot complains when you run, jump, or climb hills.
Swelling that lingers
An ankle or foot that puffs up after activity and takes days to settle.
Stress injuries
A deep, building ache with mileage — or a diagnosed stress reaction or fracture you’re returning from.
If one of these is yours, you're in the right place. If your case is different, tell us — we'll say honestly whether we're the right fit.
Find what's driving it. Treat it. Load it so it holds.
An assessment, not a template
We find what sets your foot or ankle off — walking, push-off, landing, uneven ground — and test how your ankle, foot and calf actually move under load. Imaging is context; the exam is the driver.
Treatment that works
Manual therapy to calm it down and restore how the joint moves — paired with progressive calf loading, balance and landing work so the change holds under real load.
Education and support
You leave knowing what's driving it, what the words on your imaging actually mean, and what to do next — a home program that comes to you, not a photocopied sheet.
We measure where measuring helps. Force plates, dynamometry and gait analysis mean the decision to progress you — or hold you back — comes from a number rather than an impression.

“After many frustrating years of injuries and working with multiple physical therapists, I finally found Kauno — and now I'm able to walk, run and live my life without constant pain.”
Individual one-on-one support. She listens to my progress and adjusts my plan accordingly.
Sooooo grateful I found them.
What each visit will cost you — copay, deductible, out-of-network or self-pay.
A written estimate if you're paying out of pocket — per visit and for the likely course of care.
Whether your HSA, FSA or HRA dollars apply — confirmed before you book.
From the blog
Do I need an MRI or a referral first?
No to both. California is a direct-access state, and the exam — not imaging — drives treatment. If you already have imaging, bring the report and we’ll tell you what the words actually mean for you.
How many visits does a foot or ankle injury take?
Most plans of care run 6 to 12 visits — weekly at first, spaced out as you improve. You’ll have an estimate at the end of your first visit.
I’m having foot or ankle surgery. When should I start?
Your surgeon’s protocol sets the timing — send it to us, or give us the surgeon’s name, and we’ll work from it. If surgery hasn’t happened yet, ask whether coming in beforehand is worth it in your case.
