Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, especially noticeable after periods of rest, like in the morning or after sitting. It happens when the tissue under your foot, called the plantar fascia, becomes inflamed and irritated. This tissue helps support the arch and absorb shock, so if it’s strained, it can cause significant pain, especially during weight-bearing activities.

How Physiotherapy Can Help
Physiotherapy offers a proven approach to treating plantar fasciitis. Through hands-on techniques, targeted stretching for the foot and calf, and exercises to strengthen foot and ankle muscles, we can help reduce pain and improve mobility. Our therapists may also discuss other helpful options like pain modalities, taping, or bracing treatments to further relieve pain and promote healing.
