Plantar Fasciitis

This is one of the most common foot issues that we see, and it’s something that we really pride ourselves on getting right.  The plantarfascia is a thick band that supports the arch of your foot, and in many people this structure gets overstretched or overloaded and becomes painful, especially on those first few steps in the morning- ouch. There are lots of different things that can cause plantar fascia pain that will all need to be addressed like, tight calves, poor biomechanics, poor balance, foot posture and poor footware. Thankfully, this condition responds very well to treatment usually including Physio or Sports Therapy and an appointment with our Phits team for bespoke orthotics. Even in really stubborn cases we can normally get shot of it using Shockwave Therapy or Injections.
