Plantar fasciitis – that stabbing pain in your heel can make even the simplest steps feel like an uphill battle. But fear not, Penrith! Relief is closer than you think, and it doesn't involve needles or drastic measures. Physiotherapy at Relieve Physiotherapy Penrith can be your path to a pain-free sole.

Understanding Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot. Repetitive strain, tight calf muscles, and improper footwear can all contribute to this painful condition.

Can Physiotherapy Help? Absolutely!

Physiotherapists at Relieve Physiotherapy Penrith are experts in treating plantar fasciitis. Here's how we can help you get back on your feet, pain-free:

• Pain Relief: We'll use manual therapy techniques like massage and joint mobilizations, to reduce inflammation and ease your heel pain.

• Improved Flexibility: Targeted stretches for your calf muscles and plantar fascia will increase flexibility and range of motion in your foot and ankle.

• Strengthening Exercises: Building strength in the muscles that support your arch will improve stability and reduce stress on the plantar fascia. We'll design a program specific to your needs.

• Footwear and Orthotic Assessment: We'll analyze your gait and footwear to identify any biomechanical issues that might be contributing to your plantar fasciitis. Orthotics may be recommended to provide additional support and promote proper alignment.

• Education and Self-Management: We'll equip you with the knowledge and tools to manage your plantar fasciitis effectively, including proper stretching techniques, self-massage tips, and activity modification strategies.

Science on Your Side

Research overwhelmingly supports the effectiveness of physiotherapy for plantar fasciitis. A study published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews found that physiotherapy was as effective as cortisone injections in reducing pain and improving function for people with plantar fasciitis.
