Conquering Foot Pain With Physiotherapy

Understanding Foot Pain And Plantar Fasciitis

Foot pain can be debilitating, affecting your ability to walk, work, and enjoy life. One of the most common causes of foot pain is plantar fasciitis, a condition that impacts the plantar fascia – a thick band of tissue running along the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel to your toes.

What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia becomes inflamed due to excessive strain. This condition typically causes sharp heel pain, especially during the first steps in the morning or after prolonged periods of rest.

Common Foot Conditions Treated With Physiotherapy

  • Plantar Fasciitis - Inflammation of the plantar fascia, causing heel pain and stiffness.
  • Achilles Tendinitis - Overuse injury of the Achilles tendon, resulting in pain at the back of the heel.
  • Metatarsalgia - Pain & inflammation in the ball of the foot due to overuse or improper footwear.
  • Flat Feet (Pes Planus) - Fallen arches that can lead to foot, knee, or back pain.
  • Morton’s Neuroma - A thickening of the tissue around the nerves leading to the toes.
  • Bunions And Hammer Toes - Structural deformities of the foot causing pain and affecting gait.
