Struggling with Foot Pain? Don’t Let It Affect Your Daily Life!
Dr. Umair-ur-Rehman explains the common causes of foot pain and how physiotherapy can help you recover safely and effectively.
Foot pain can arise from several factors — plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, flat feet, overuse injuries, poor footwear, nerve entrapment, or muscle imbalances. Many people ignore the early signs until it starts interfering with daily life — whether it’s walking, standing, working, or exercising comfortably.

🔍 Common Symptoms to Watch Out For:
• Pain or tenderness in the heel, arch, or ball of the foot
• Swelling or stiffness after activity
• Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations
• Discomfort while standing or walking
• Reduced balance or difficulty in normal movement
If left untreated, foot pain may worsen, leading to chronic inflammation, gait changes, or strain in the knees and lower back.

✅ How Physiotherapy Can Help:
Physiotherapy provides a safe, non-invasive, and effective solution.
A personalized treatment plan may include:
• Manual therapy & joint mobilization
• Foot and ankle strengthening & stretching exercises
• Gait assessment and correction
• Custom orthotic or footwear advice
• Pain-relief modalities (ultrasound, heat, electrotherapy, etc.)
With the right approach, physiotherapy reduces pain, restores function, and prevents long-term complications.
