What is it?
Anterior ankle impingement, also known as anterior impingement syndrome, is a musculoskeletal condition where repetitive forces compress and damage the tissues at the front of the ankle, causing pain and stiffness. It is a common injury that can affect people of all ages, however, is usually seen in athletes of sports involving repetitive or forceful upward movements of the ankle, such as sprinting, landing from long jump, uphill and downhill running.
What are the symptoms?
Pain at the front of the ankle is the primary symptom of anterior ankle impingement. This can be felt as an intense, sharp pain occurring with ankle movements or a dull ache in front of the ankle following periods of exercise. Pain can also be felt when putting weight through the ankle while standing, walking, or running. Nighttime aching, stiffness, swelling and reduced ankle flexibility are also common symptoms of anterior ankle impingement.

AxIT is coming to the Central Coast and North Kincumber Physiotherapy! We are excited to announce that we will be bringing the AxIT to our patients.
What is AxIT?
AxIT is a state of art system that allows us to measure every muscle and movement in the human body. Some tests include squats, lunges, isolated muscle strength testing, Nordic Hamstring Curl, Isometric Mid Thigh Pull, Jump Power Testing, Core Rotational Strength Testing, and many more.
We chose the AxIT to measure how our patients move. This allows us to set baselines, track progressions over time and identify imbalances between muscles and sides, that may be holding you back from achieving your goals.
Stop guessing and start measuring your health, performance and outcomes....
