Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain, affecting approximately 1 in 10 people at some point. It involves inflammation and degeneration of the plantar fascia — the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, connecting the heel bone to the toes.
The hallmark symptom is sharp heel pain with the first steps in the morning or after periods of rest. Left untreated, plantar fasciitis can become a chronic condition. Physiotherapy, combined with the right exercises and footwear advice, resolves the vast majority of cases without surgery.
Our HCPC-registered physiotherapists provide a comprehensive assessment of your foot biomechanics and develop a personalised treatment programme to eliminate your heel pain and prevent it returning.
Don’t ignore heel pain: Plantar fasciitis that is left untreated or managed with rest alone frequently becomes chronic and harder to treat. Early physiotherapy intervention typically leads to much faster resolution.
Our physiotherapists assess all potential causes during your initial consultation to identify the root of your condition.
Sudden increases in running distance or intensity place excessive repetitive load on the plantar fascia.
Unsupportive shoes, high heels or walking barefoot on hard surfaces fail to cushion and support the plantar fascia.
Increased body weight places greater load through the plantar fascia with every step, accelerating tissue degeneration.
Tight calf muscles and Achilles tendon significantly increase tensile load on the plantar fascia — a major contributing factor.
Both flat feet (overpronation) and high arches alter load distribution through the foot, stressing the plantar fascia.
Jobs that involve prolonged standing on hard floors — retail, hospitality, healthcare — significantly increase plantar fasciitis risk.
Our HCPC-registered physiotherapists use a combination of hands-on treatment, targeted exercises and education to address the root cause — not just the symptoms.
Specific eccentric and intrinsic foot exercises proven to remodel and strengthen the plantar fascia for lasting recovery.
Targeted calf and Achilles stretching combined with ankle mobilisation to reduce tensile load through the plantar fascia.
Low-dye taping to offload the plantar fascia and expert advice on appropriate orthotics or footwear changes.
For chronic plantar fasciitis, we can refer for extracorporeal shockwave therapy — highly effective when combined with physiotherapy.
A clear, structured approach from your first appointment to full recovery.
A thorough evaluation of your condition, movement patterns and functional goals. We identify the root cause.
A tailored treatment programme with clear goals and a realistic timeline — specific to your condition and lifestyle.
Each session combines manual therapy, targeted exercises and education. Most patients feel improvement within 2–3 sessions.
You leave with a home exercise programme and practical advice to maintain your recovery and prevent recurrence.
