Ariana Madix is receiving physical therapy for her foot after revealing she injured herself sometime during her time on “Dancing With the Stars.”
“Another day another PT sesh!” the “Vanderpump Rules” star wrote atop a photo posted to her Instagram Story Saturday.
In the snap, Madix sat across an examination table in a medical office while her right foot was wrapped in what appeared to be an ice pack.
On Oct. 11, the Bravolebrity, 38, told Entertainment Weekly that she was “dealing with an injury” on her “right foot,” but she didn’t disclose how or when the mysterious injury occurred.
The reality star has noticeably ditched her heels for her last two performances with “DWTS” pro Pasha Pashkov, which may have something to do with her ongoing injury.
Madix caught viewers’ attention when she rocked bedazzled sneakers for her Oct. 11 dance, suggesting something was amiss.
Taking to Madix’s Instagram, a fan asked the “Single AF Cocktails” author why she opted for sneakers instead of heels while dancing the Motown quick step.

“My quickstep shoes weren’t heels to begin with,” the Bravo star responded, adding, “My foot injury requires a stiff sole hence the last minute switch, but the other shoes weren’t heels anyway.”
A week later, the Something About Her co-owner went barefoot for her and Pashkov’s “Frozen” contemporary dance on Oct. 17.
While it is common for modern dance to forgo footwear, it may have also been an aid in Madix’s ongoing injury.
Reps for Madix did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
It is unclear how or when the aspiring actress was injured, but she did hint as early as Oct. 5 that she was dealing with some foot issues.
Posting a handful of photos to Instagram — including one of her toes wrapped in bandages — Madix wrote in her caption that she was sporting “Ninja turtle inspired blister protection🥷🏼🐢.”
The “Dead Want Women” actress is expected to hit the dance floor this coming Tuesday with Pashkov. We will be watching to see if she opts for orthopedically-friendly footwear for week five.
“Dancing With the Stars” airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and Disney+.
