Plantar fasciitis is a common and painful condition affecting the bottom of the foot, often caused by overuse of the plantar fascia—a thick, fibrous ligament that runs from the heel to the toes. It supports the foot arch and plays an important role in everyday movement. Repeated strain, especially from weight-bearing activity or sports injuries, can lead to tiny microtears and inflammatory reactions, causing pain in the heel area.
People who are regularly involved in high-impact activities like running, basketball, or tennis—or those who stand for extended periods—may be more likely to develop plantar fasciitis.

- Sharp heel pain when first standing up, especially in the morning
- Discomfort after prolonged sitting or standing
- Swelling around the heel or foot and ankle
- A burning or tingling feeling in more chronic heel pain cases
- Pain when pressing on the underside of the heel
Plantar Fasciitis Therapy Options
We offer a range of non-surgical therapies designed to support healing and alleviate pain, including:
- Shockwave therapy (ESWT)
- Super Inductive Therapy SIS
- Arch taping and orthotic inserts
- Manual mobilisation and specific exercises for the calf and fascia
- Customised orthotic insoles for long-term support
These are cutting-edge, non-invasive therapy options like shockwave therapy that can promote healing by stimulating blood flow to the affected area.
Plantar fasciitis options are tailored to each patient based on condition severity, age, and activity level. Early intervention helps relieve symptoms, prevent further damage, and support long-term recovery.
