Your shoes could be making your heel pain worse 👟

Plantar fasciitis is often aggravated by unsupportive footwear or walking long hours on hard surfaces. Switching to shoes with good arch support and cushioning can reduce strain on your feet. Pair that with simple stretches and you’re giving your feet the care they deserve.

Shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in soft tissues like tendons and ligaments.

It boosts blood flow, breaks down calcifications, and reduces pain — often used for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and shoulder pain.

Most patients notice a significant improvement after just a couple of sessions.

Please note that your physiotherapist will do a proper assessment of your condition to determine what would be the right treatment for you.

Shockwave is a treatment tool used in conjunction with other physiotherapy modalities and a good strengthening program.
