At The Movement Clinic Physical Therapy and Performance, we don’t just treat symptoms—we get to the root of your discomfort. Our specialists create personalized treatment plans designed to restore mobility, eliminate pain, and prevent future problems before they escalate.
What’s Causing Your Foot & Ankle Pain in Pasadena?
Your feet and ankles bear the brunt of thousands of steps daily. Over time, wear and misalignment can lead to chronic pain or injury. Here’s why:
- Repetitive Impact: Running, jumping, or sudden increases in activity strain tendons and ligaments, leading to inflammation and pain.
- Abnormal Foot Mechanics: High or low arches disrupt natural shock absorption, placing extra stress on joints and tissues.
- Trauma & Sprains: A sudden twist or misstep can tear stabilizing ligaments, requiring expert rehab to regain full strength and stability.
- Arthritic Wear & Tear: Years of weight-bearing activities can break down cartilage, form bone spurs, and restrict movement.
Ignoring the pain won’t make it go away. Our advanced diagnostics pinpoint the exact cause, so we can create a solution that works for you.
Customized Relief & Lasting Solutions
At The Movement Clinic Physical Therapy and Performance, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatments. Your personalized recovery plan may include:
- Physical Therapy: Strengthen weak areas, restore range of motion, and correct movement patterns to prevent reinjury.
- Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to release tension, improve mobility, and relieve pain—fast.
- Custom Orthotics & Braces: Proper alignment distributes pressure evenly, reducing strain and supporting long-term healing.
- Injury Prevention Strategies: Learn the right warm-ups, stretches, and footwear choices to stop pain before it starts.
This comprehensive approach ensures you recover quickly and stay pain-free for the long haul.
FAQs: What You Need to Know
What causes foot and ankle pain?
Conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, arthritis, and overuse injuries are common culprits. Poor footwear and improper movement can also lead to pain.
Why does my ankle hurt if I didn’t injure it?
Poor posture, pronation, bone spurs, or medical conditions like gout can all trigger pain. A proper evaluation can reveal the cause.
When should I take ankle pain seriously?
Severe swelling, bruising, or sharp pain after an injury could mean a fracture or torn ligament—seek expert care immediately. Chronic pain that won’t go away also needs professional attention.
Why do I have sudden ankle pain with no swelling?
Issues like gout or infections can cause unexpected pain. Early intervention prevents bigger problems.

Met The Movement Therapy team at a workshop at Rose City Barbell on dealing with back pain while lifting. Great workshop! Signed up for an evaluation with Dr. John. Wow! After just an hour with him have learned some great warmup exercises which help my squat and back. He gets my joy in lifting. Wonderful expertise! Recommend to all.

I had the best experience with the movement clinic. I was initially skeptical if PT would help my low back issues I’ve had for years (after trying acupuncture, chiropractor, etc….) but after a careful assessment of how my body was moving they put me on a tailored plan that slowly improved my symptoms and now I’m pretty much pain free. They take the time to get to know you, your body and consider your lifestyle to figure out a long term plan. I’m going to continue coming here and highly recommend anyone who has ongoing pain or discomfort that they couldn’t quite work out.
