About this condition
Stiffness can follow injury, surgery or immobilisation, or come from bony spurs or scar tissue inside the joint. Finding the cause decides whether stretching and physiotherapy are enough.
What you may notice
An ankle that will not bend fully, making squatting, stairs and walking uncomfortable.
How we help
Find out whether the cause is scarring, bone or joint change, then treat it: stretching, physiotherapy, or release of the stiff tissue when needed.
