Strength and Mobility Testing
We test the specific strength and mobility patterns that contribute to ankle pain – so we know what your body can handle today and what needs to be built up.
Functional Movement Assessment
We watch how you move – squat, lunge, and other loading strategies – to connect the dots between your movement and your symptoms.
Hands-On Treatment
Depending on what we find, treatment may include dry needling, cupping, or joint and soft tissue work targeted at what’s actually driving your symptoms.
Your Personalized Plan
We put everything together into a clear, actionable plan specific to your body and your goals. No generic advice. No cookie-cutter exercises. A real path forward starting from day one.

Common Ankle Pain Conditions We Treat.

Ankle pain shows up differently for everyone. Whether you’ve been given a diagnosis or just know something isn’t right – we can help. Here are some of the most common conditions we see at our Overland Park clinic.

Achilles Tendinopathy

Pain and stiffness at the back of your ankle – especially first thing in the morning or after activity. Rest might calm it down, but it won’t make the tendon stronger. We use a progressive loading approach to build tendon capacity so you can run, jump, and train without it flaring back up.

Ankle Sprains

Whether it just happened or you’ve rolled the same ankle multiple times – how you rehab a sprain matters more than most people realize. Getting it right the first time prevents the chronic stiffness, instability, or repeated injuries that follow a poorly rehabbed sprain.

Chronic Ankle Instability

That feeling of your ankle being unreliable – rolling on uneven ground, giving way during activity, never quite feeling stable since an old injury. We identify what’s driving it and rebuild the strength and neuromuscular control to fix it for good.

Ankle Stiffness or Impingement

Limited ankle mobility, stiffness that won’t loosen up, or a sharp pinching sensation at the bottom of a squat, lunge, or jump. Restricted ankle mobility is one of the most overlooked contributors to pain up the chain, affecting your knees, hips, and back.

Peroneal Tendon Issues

Pain, weakness, or a snapping sensation on the outside of your ankle, especially during activity or after an ankle sprain that won’t fully heal. Peroneal tendon issues are often overlooked and mismanaged. We assess the full picture and build a plan to restore strength and stability.

Ankle Pain From Running or Training

Ankle pain showing up during runs, jumps, or agility work? Your ankle may be lacking the mobility, strength, or stability to handle what you’re asking of it. We find the gap and build it up so you can keep training without it coming back every time.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was a mess. I had pain just walking across the room. Pain in my knee and back kept me from swimming and riding my bike—the two things I love doing and that have helped keep me healthy and active.

Yesterday, I did the swimming and biking portion of a team triathlon.

Need I say more?

Josh at TrueFix was a master therapist. He put a game plan together and worked with me to get it done.

If you’re looking for a physical therapist, you owe it to yourself to give the folks at TrueFix a try.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Josh for preventative care and coaching as I prepared for my first ultra-marathon. The strength training routine and troubleshooting he provided during our in-office visits kept me injury free from my earliest miles to post-event. Josh was always available to answer questions and went the extra mile in providing solutions. Their entire staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and there to cheer on progress. Whether recovering from an injury or trying to take your physical goals to the next level, I can't recommend TrueFix enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had been to other physical therapists for past injuries and had mediocre experiences with what felt like a very generic rehab plan that checked insurance boxes. This place focuses on the bigger picture (a foundation of health with my health/physical goals in mind) and has helped me stay strong and pain free to continue doing the things I care about, from home renovations to my most recent triathlon.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. At the beginning of the year I thought I might actually need to give up running, or that I would need surgery or a ton of time off to do so again. I went to Josh though and he identified the issues and set up a plan to address it. I could tell Josh knew the science and was highly qualified but I also trusted him because of how he could relate as an athlete/fellow runner. It took some time, patience, and lots of work under Josh’s guidance, but 7 months later and I have run more mileage than ever before, feeling zero issues now with something that had been nagging for years. I am so grateful that I can go to Josh and for what he has done for my running!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have struggled with persistent shoulder pain since high school, and after just one session with Eric, my shoulder felt better and had more mobility than it had in years.  Eric and his colleagues are personable, attentive, and kind. It is clear that the practice as a whole truly cares about their clients, and wants to help them achieve their goals.  I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of physical therapy!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 8 years ago, I had ACL and meniscus root repair surgery on my knee. The years that followed were a struggle. I suffered from discomfort, stiffness, and pain not being able to run or compete the way I wanted to. In 2025, I started working with Eric Vargas and I can confidently say, this is the best my knee has felt since surgery. We started with incremental wins, working on mobility and strength. As we continued to build momentum, I pushed the knee squatting, jumping, and ultimately running (something I was not comfortable with for years). Now, I am comfortable running 3 miles on a regular basis. Eric’s expertise and approach gave me the confidence I was looking for to reach my goals. Thank you Eric and TrueFix for leading me on this journey. Pumped to keep improving. Let’s go!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I totally trust Dr. McNiel. He's so knowledgeable, calm, kind, and listens asking all the right questions. I had bad neck and back pain from sleeping weird that wouldn't go away. I waited longer than I should have before asking for help. The day after seeing him, it already had improved.  He gave me some stretches to do at home to continue the improvement. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. McNiel at TrueFix is great! I’m a fitness instructor and had been dealing with low back pain for years, and not much helped until I started working with him. He helped figure out what was likely causing the pain and put together a plan that really worked. I feel so much better now—can’t recommend him and TrueFix enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Above and Beyond Care

After struggling with tennis elbow that kept me from my weightlifting routine, I cannot say enough about the exceptional care I received from my physical therapist Josh. From our very first session, Josh demonstrated not just professional expertise, but genuine concern for my recovery and long-term health.

What sets him apart is his comprehensive approach. Rather than simply treating the immediate pain, they took time to understand my fitness goals and how weightlifting fits into my life. Each exercise was explained clearly, with patient demonstrations delivered daily in my email after sessions in person.

Most impressively, they went well beyond treating just my elbow. They offered valuable insights about overall mobility work, nutrition tips to support tissue healing. These additional elements have become integral parts of my health regimen and have improved my overall well-being.

Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I'm back to lifting weights pain-free, with better form and a more balanced approach than before my injury. I'm deeply grateful for a physical therapist who treats patients as whole people rather than just injuries to fix.
