Expert Ankle Pain Physical Therapy in Henrico, VA

Ankle Pain That Holds You Back Shouldn't Be Normal
The Pain Keeps Coming Back
You've rested, iced, and waited — but the moment you push again, the ankle gives out. Without addressing the underlying cause, the cycle never ends.
Cookie-Cutter Care Falls Short
Most clinics hand you a generic exercise sheet and move on to the next patient. Your ankle injury is specific to you — your rehab should be too.
You're Sidelined From What Matters
Running, sport, or simply walking without pain — when ankle problems linger, life shrinks. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to get back to full strength.

"I got injured in the middle of marathon training and got very emotional as I felt so much pain in my knee. Ben took the time to listen, navigate what was happening, and create the perfect plan for me.

100+ Five-Star Reviews from Henrico Patients
"Dr. Ben is excellent. It was easy to ask him questions and it always felt like he understood my goals. He helped me feel more knowledgeable about my ankle recovery and all the different things I can do to make it stronger. I gained a lot of confidence in my ankle from going to our sessions and doing the exercises at home. Thank you Ben!!!!"
Mary Wagner
"I've done PT at several different places and think this is my favorite as far as effectiveness. Ben carefully examined my foot and ankle and prescribed a set of exercises specifically designed to strengthen that area. After I left, I was able to access on-line videos of Ben clearly demonstrating how to do each exercise correctly. I would definitely recommend Bend Movement Physical Therapy and Dr. Benjamin Klingelhofer for all of your physical therapy needs."
Ellen Armstrong
"Ben is amazing! I own a gym, and I have members who also play volleyball, soccer, pickleball, basketball, or run. In addition to proper recovery, Ben helps you focus on building strength to prevent future injuries. I recommend Ben to all my members and to anyone looking for a caring and knowledgeable physical therapist! Plus he's just a great guy who everyone loves and respects! Highly recommend!!!"
