Check out our February 2024 Newsletter, highlighting: the importance of balance training to prevent falls in older adults, addressing ski-related MCL injuries with physical therapy, hamstring injury treatment, and physical therapy for Lisfranc injury.

A Lisfranc injury can involve a sprain or tearing of the ligaments of the midfoot or a fracture or dislocation of the metatarsal and tarsal bones of the midfoot, leading to significant pain, dysfunction, and difficulty walking or running. The Lisfranc joint is located at the junction of the forefoot and midfoot, where the metatarsal bones connect to the rest of the foot. Physical therapy after a Lisfranc injury can help you manage pain and swelling, improve lower extremity mobility and strength, restore normal walking ability, and ensure a safe return to activity and sports competition.

A Lisfranc injury occurs from a sudden trauma such as a fall, hard contact, or twisting of the foot that damages the bones or overstresses the ligaments of the Lisfranc joint. The Lisfranc joint is a complex joint in the midfoot where the metatarsal bones connect to the rest of your foot, joined by ligaments that stabilize the arch of the foot and transfer loads from the lower leg to the foot. Physical therapy after a Lisfranc injury can help manage pain and swelling, improve lower extremity mobility and strength, restore normal walking ability, and ensure a safe return to activity and sports competition.
