Heel pain first thing in the morning? Sharp discomfort when you stand after sitting?
You might be dealing with plantar fasciitis đŁ
Plantar fasciitis happens when the thick band of tissue along the bottom of your foot becomes irritated or overloaded. Itâs common in runners, people who stand for long hours, those with tight calves, or anyone whose footwear or foot mechanics arenât giving enough support. And noâpushing through the pain usually doesnât make it go away.
⨠How physiotherapy can help:
Physiotherapy doesnât just treat the symptomsâwe address the cause.
At Lakeview Physio, treatment for plantar fasciitis may include:
âď¸ A full assessment of your foot mechanics, walking pattern, and posture
âď¸ Hands-on treatment to reduce pain and tension
âď¸ Targeted stretching for the foot and calf muscles
âď¸ Strengthening exercises to support the arch and ankle
âď¸ Guidance on footwear, activity modification, and load management
The goal is simple: reduce pain, improve function, and help you get back to walking, working, and exercising comfortablyâwithout fear of every step.
đ If heel pain is slowing you down, early treatment can make a big difference.
Your feet carry you everywhereâletâs take care of them.
