Lower limb physiotherapy in Rovaniemi helps with lower limb pain and poor posture
Lower limb physiotherapy is suitable for people who suffer from problems with their feet, ankles, knees or hips. We can help you with your foot problems at Comeback Physio in Rovaniemi.
Lower limb physiotherapy in a nutshell
Lower limb physiotherapy can help treat strain injuries, functional and structural problems and prevent problems. Lower limb physiotherapy can provide a solution to a surprisingly wide range of symptoms, as sometimes problems in the lower limbs are reflected in other parts of the body, such as prolonged back pain. At the first appointment, our physiotherapists will carry out a lower limb examination to assess, among other things, range of motion, muscle strength and body load when walking.

What are the most common lower limb problems?
Lower limb problems are often linked to pain and misalignment in the foot, ankle, knee or hip. Common complaints include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, penile disease and various types of stress-related pain in the knees and hips. In many cases, these are caused by misalignment of the feet, which can cause load imbalances and lead to wider symptoms.

What does lower limb physiotherapy involve?
We will examine the mobility and muscle strength of the lower limbs, examine gait and assess faulty posture. We also check for any height discrepancies, foot drop and the need for braces. A treatment plan based on the assessment may include stretching, muscle exercises, balance exercises and manual therapy such as joint mobilisation.

What other services do you offer in lower limb physiotherapy?
We can provide you with Askel-Aid support pads, the need for which is determined by a lower limb analysis. This will determine the alignment of the lower limbs, the posture of the foot and the effects of movement on alignment and posture. The analysis can also be combined with a PODOSmart foot movement analysis to provide more accurate information on foot movements during walking and running. We also perform dynamic and kinesiology taping to relieve pain and improve function in the arch, ankle and toe areas of the foot.
What symptoms can lower limb physiotherapy help with
This is how physiotherapy progresses during your appointment
1
Initial mapping and discussion
The intake starts with a comprehensive initial assessment, where we go through the client’s symptoms, health history and possible functional capacity challenges. We will also discuss work, leisure and everyday stress factors to get a full picture of your situation. The aim is to understand the background to your symptoms and find the right approach to treatment for you.
2
Examining the symptoms
After the discussion, we will examine the symptoms in more detail using physiotherapeutic methods. For example, we assess muscle strength, mobility, body control and possible areas of pain. If necessary, we will carry out more detailed functional tests. The examination provides the basis for building an individual treatment and exercise programme.
3
Treatment and rehabilitation plan
Based on the tests, we will draw up a personalised treatment and rehabilitation plan for you. The plan may include therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, ergonomic guidance and concrete ways to alleviate symptoms and improve your ability to function. All interventions are based on your goals and your life situation.
4
Follow-up and further guidance
Physiotherapy does not end at the first visit. We will monitor your progress and adapt your treatment as necessary. You will also receive clear follow-up instructions for self-training and support for everyday activities. The aim is to achieve lasting results and strengthen your independent well-being.
