Ground Up Therapy vs. Other Treatments

Comparison with General Physiotherapy

While general physiotherapy addresses a wide range of issues, Ground Up Therapy focuses specifically on building strength and mobility from the feet upward, providing a more targeted and holistic approach.

Comparison with Orthotics

Orthotics provide passive support for the feet, while Ground Up Therapy actively strengthens the muscles and joints to improve function and prevent future issues.

Comparison with Surgery

For many conditions, Ground Up Therapy can be an effective alternative to surgery, helping you recover without the risks or downtime associated with invasive procedures.

Who Can Benefit from Ground Up Therapy?

  • Athletes: Improve performance, prevent injuries, and recover faster.

  • Office Workers: Address postural issues and reduce pain caused by prolonged sitting or standing.

  • Active Individuals: Enhance balance, coordination, and movement efficiency.

  • Anyone Seeking Better Movement: Build a strong foundation for long-term joint and muscle health.

Risks and Considerations

Who Should Avoid Ground Up Therapy?
