Hi,

Appreciate any help or advice I can get here before visiting a physio.


About 7 years ago I twisted my right ankle twice within the space of a month. I didn't get any treatment for the injury as I presumed it would just heal itself as previous ankle twists always had.

Around one year later I really began to notice that walking was beginning to feel a bit weird and the foot felt weaker than my other foot. The muscle on my calf was also wasting and the leg grew noticeably weaker. This obviously affected my gait. I put up with this for about another year and a half before I visited my local chiropracter (I had seen an ad where they stated that they analysed gait etc). I had some sessions here and did a little physio too until financial constraints meant I could no longer afford it.

During this time I was also a reguar gym-goer (Cardio and resistance work). In fact, it was my lack of balance in the gym and the under-development of my right-hand side that prompted me to look for a solution. Basically, my whole right side is weaker and less developed than my left side. My legs look like they are from different people! Recently I've been back at the gym and this is really frustrating me. My whole body seems out of sync.

I'm just wondering is there a solution here? Is it possible for regular physio sessions to correct this problem or am I stuck with it?
