What Is Foot Mobilisation Therapy?
Foot Mobilisation Therapy is a manual treatment that focuses on improving joint mobility and alignment in the feet and ankles. When joints become restricted, surrounding muscles, tendons, and ligaments must compensate — often leading to pain, stiffness, and imbalance.
FMT uses gentle mobilisation techniques to restore normal movement across the 26 bones and 33 joints of the foot.
FMT is the preferred treatment for a wide range of foot problems.
- We use natural, gentle techniques to guide the big toe and joints back into their correct alignment without orthotics or invasive surgery.
- We can reduce bunion pain—and prevent future problems from developing. Discover more about Bunions Here.
- Our treatment plan aims to identify and eradicate an illness’s underlying cause rather than just treating its symptoms.
- You continue to lead a normal life — you can go to work, play sports and wear your favourite shoes without taking time off from these activities while you heal.
- FMT is drug-free — our gentle and pain-free methods have been refined over the years with excellent results that last.

How Foot Mobilisation Therapy Works
Our chiropodists will work on the joints of your feet, releasing any fascial restrictions and improving their movement and mobility. Restoring optimal biomechanics is the key to gaining better balance, stability and alignment in the body.
- The joint will be taken through its natural range of motion, breaking up adhesions and restrictions. This frees up the joint to operate at its ideal position, improving joint health throughout life.
- Treatment typically consists of a combination of specific but simple corrective exercises you can do at home when we are not treating your feet.
Foot Mobilization Techniques can be used to achieve the following:
- Break up connective tissue adhesions and restrictions around joints to improve joint mobility.
- Improve stability and balance by stimulating the body’s proprioceptive systems, especially in elderly patients.
- Strengthen muscles by invigorating brain messages that command the relevant muscles to contract.
- Reducing pain by stimulating the joint mechanoreceptors, which suppress nociceptor (pain receptor) impulses to the brain.
If other treatment methods have not worked for you, one of our chiropodists can make a difference!
