What is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the tissue on the underside of the foot becomes irritated or overloaded, often due to changes in activity, footwear or movement patterns.

​

Common Symptoms

• pain under the heel, especially in the morning

• discomfort after long periods of standing

• pain during or after walking or running

• tightness in the foot or calf

​​

Causes

Plantar fasciitis is often linked to:

• increased running or activity levels

• poor footwear

• reduced ankle mobility

• calf tightness

• foot biomechanics

​​

How Physiotherapy Helps

Our physiotherapists focus on addressing the root cause of the problem, not just the symptoms.

Treatment may include:

• hands-on therapy

• calf and foot strengthening exercises

• stretching programmes

• load management advice

• footwear guidance

We aim to reduce pain and build resilience in the foot to prevent recurrence.
