Foot Pain Treatment

Foot Pain & Physiotherapy

Foot pain is a common issue that can significantly affect mobility, work capacity, and overall quality of life. It may arise from conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, metatarsalgia, arthritis, or biomechanical overload. Contributing factors often include poor footwear, altered gait mechanics, reduced joint mobility, or increased load from activity or weight gain.

Physiotherapy provides targeted management through:

• Accurate Diagnosis: Identifying the source of pain—whether soft tissue, joint, or referred—from a thorough biomechanical and functional assessment.

• Pain Reduction: Manual therapy, taping, dry needling, and adjunct modalities to reduce inflammation and tissue irritation.

• Restoration of Function: Exercise prescription to improve foot and ankle strength, flexibility, and load tolerance—supporting walking, running, and standing tasks.

• Gait & Load Correction: Addressing abnormal movement patterns, footwear issues, and activity modification to reduce strain and prevent recurrence.

• Education & Prevention: Empowering patients with strategies to manage flare-ups, select appropriate footwear, and maintain long-term foot health.

Whether you're dealing with morning heel pain, post-surgical recovery, or strain from increased activity, physiotherapy offers a structured, evidence-based approach to restore comfort and function.
