● CONDITION · PLANTAR FASCIITIS

Hands-On Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is one of our clinic's specialities, causing pain along the sole of the foot that's typically at its worst with the very first steps in the morning or after resting, and can make everyday walking or standing genuinely uncomfortable if left untreated.

At our clinic, we take a thorough, evidence-based approach to identifying exactly what's driving your heel or foot pain, then build a treatment plan around you — drawing on the most appropriate combination of hands-on therapy, targeted rehabilitation, and advanced treatments available across our clinic, to relieve your symptoms and address the underlying cause.

Does this describe you?

  • Your first steps out of bed in the morning bring on sharp heel pain
  • Pain eases slightly once you're moving, but flares up again after sitting for a while
  • Standing or walking for long periods leaves your foot aching by the end of the day
  • You've noticed the pain is worse in certain shoes, or on hard flooring
  • The pain seems concentrated at the bottom of your heel, or along the arch of your foot
  • You've tried stretching, new insoles, or rest, but the pain keeps coming backe
  • It's been going on for months, and hasn't fully resolved on its own
  • You're an active runner or walker, and the pain is starting to limit your training

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone — and it's exactly what we help patients with, every day.

DIAGNOSIS

Types of Foot and Heel Pain We Treat

Each one needs a different treatment approach — which is why the first appointment exists to identify exactly which is yours.

Plantar Fasciitis

Inflammation and micro-damage to the plantar fascia — the band of tissue running along the sole of the foot — typically causing sharp heel pain that's worst first thing in the morning.

Heel Spurs

Bony growths that can develop on the heel bone, often associated with chronic plantar fasciitis, and sometimes contributing to ongoing pain even after the initial fascia irritation has settled.

Achilles Tendinopathy

Pain and stiffness affecting the Achilles tendon at the back of the heel, often linked to overuse, training load, or tightness in the calf muscles.

Chronic Plantar Fasciopathy

Long-standing, degenerative changes to the plantar fascia resulting from repeated strain without adequate recovery, often requiring a different treatment approach to acute inflammation.

Running and Sports-Related Foot Pain

Foot and heel pain linked to training load, footwear, or biomechanics, common in runners and athletes in high-impact sports.

Postural and Biomechanical Foot Pain

Foot pain linked to gait, foot posture, or biomechanical imbalance, often contributing to plantar fasciitis or related conditions developing in the first place.

— OUR APPROACH —

How we can help

Plantar fasciitis is one of our clinic's specialities, and an area we have long, successful experience treating. We're frequently recommended by local GP surgeries as a first line of intervention, precisely because generic advice — rest, stretching, new insoles — so often isn't enough to properly resolve it on its own.

We start with a thorough assessment of your foot mechanics, gait, and the specific tissue involved, to understand exactly why the fascia has become irritated in the first place. As part of your treatment, we offer both radial and focused shockwave therapy — widely regarded as the gold-standard intervention for chronic plantar fasciitis — included at no extra cost as part of your treatment plan, alongside hands-on manual therapy and a structured rehabilitation and stretching programme to address the underlying biomechanical factors contributing to your pain.
