PLANTAR FASCIITIS
Symptoms
Plantar fasciitis can cause pain in the heel and arch. This pain can be continuous or comes and goes. The pain tends to worsen after a period of rest, when attempting to use the foot again.
Causes
Plantar fasciitis is normally caused from an overuse in the tendon. This can be a change in activity, a change in footwear or a change in biomechanics. We can help to diagnose the cause.
Treatment Plans
We can deliver a range of treatments for plantar fasciitis that come together to eliminate the problem. I can advice how to manage the pain on a short term basis, I can treat the tendon to release tension, I can provide exercise programmes to improve flexibility and strength in the tendon. We may need to device temporary or permanent supports to prevent the problem reoccurring.
