Struggling with back or neck pain? Your posture could be the missing link.

Struggling with heel pain or plantar fasciitis? 👣

If you feel that sharp, stabbing pain with your first steps in the morning, you’re not alone, plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of persistent heel pain we see at Specific Physiotherapy Preston.

In this video, our therapists demonstrate a deep tissue plantar fascia and calf treatment that helps:

✔ Reduce that “first step” pain
✔ Loosen tight arches
✔ Improve walking comfort
✔ Support recovery for runners, tradies, and anyone on their feet all day

This is a hands-on approach targeting the plantar fascia, intrinsic foot muscles, and calf tension, all key contributors to stubborn heel pain.

If your heel pain keeps coming back, don’t ignore it. Early treatment can make a huge difference to how quickly you recover.

That twitch you see? 👀 It’s 100% real — and it’s your muscle’s way of finally letting go.

When a dry needle hits a trigger point, the muscle responds with a quick, involuntary contraction called a twitch response.
It’s your body’s reflex to release built-up tension, ease pain, and restore normal movement.

This video shows dry needling with massage for shoulder tightness and pain — a targeted combination used by our physiotherapists to deliver real, lasting relief.

Whether you’re dealing with training overload, desk tension, or stubborn shoulder pain, this approach helps improve blood flow, reduce muscle spasm, and calm nerve irritation.
