🦶 Why standing still with plantar fasciitis can hurt MORE than walking

Ever notice how standing in line hurts worse than moving around?
Here’s why 👇

When you stand still:
• The plantar fascia is under constant tension
• Blood flow is reduced
• Your foot muscles aren’t helping share the load

When you move:
• Muscles activate and support the arch
• Circulation improves
• The fascia gets dynamic relief, not static strain

👉 That’s why movement (the RIGHT kind) often feels better than standing frozen.

đźš« But pushing through pain without guidance can make it worse.
âś… The fix = targeted mobility, strengthening, and load management.

📍If heel pain is stopping you from standing, walking, or working — we can help.

Book your eval. Stop guessing. Start healing.

A herniated disc is more than just back pain.
When a disc presses on nearby nerves, it can cause sharp pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness.

Ever crack your knuckles and wonder if you’re damaging your joints?
That “pop” is usually gas bubbles releasing inside the joint — not bones grinding and not arthritis.
Joint noise is common. Pain and loss of function are what actually matter.
If something doesn’t feel right, that’s when a PT should take a look. 💪🦴

We want to take this time to share that Dr. Alex Oliveira has recently informed us that he will leave Ironbound Physical Therapy & Wellness at the end of the month. He has decided to pursue his own independent venture, and we respect his choice to do so.

We are grateful for the time we worked together and wish him nothing but success in his future endeavors. 🤝

Our commitment to our patients remains unchanged — the same high-quality care, the same trusted team, and the same dedication you expect from us.

🌟Dr. Emily Rodrigues PT, DPT🌟

Emily was inspired to enter the world of healthcare after viewing her late Grandmother struggle with functional mobility throughout the majority of her life. She quickly learned that Physical Therapy is the greatest career in healthcare due to its all-encompassing approach to the human body rooted in natural, restorative, & strength-based recovery.

Emily received her Bachelor’s of Science in Biology at Saint Joseph’s University in West Philadelphia, where she was apart of the SJU Cheerleading Squad traveling alongside the Men’s & Women’s D1 Basketball teams for the A10’s conference. Gaining a greater appreciation for the body’s demands of athleticism, she quickly decided that pursuing a Doctorate of Physical Therapy would be her ideal post-grad career plan. Taking a gap year in between, she volunteered/worked at various clinics in NJ & Philadelphia, including the renowned Vincera Institute who specialize in treating high level athletes like the Philadelphia Flyers. Emily received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Rutgers University in Newark, NJ.

Emily is driven to take an individualistic treatment approach for each patient she meets, with an emphasis in identifying and correcting neuromuscular imbalances. Her experience with Cheerleading has fortified in her a greater appreciation for the impact a sport can have on the (female) body, thus dedicating more focus to core/pelvic stability, postural restoration, and overall neuromuscular balance to lower the risk of injury. Emily is excited to start taking continuing education courses to broaden her expertise in the realm of Physical Therapy!

Outside of the clinic, Emily enjoys working soccer games as the on-site PT gaining experience with players spanning up to the Semi-professional level. She also speaks Portuguese 🇵🇹
