Understanding Heel Pain/Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis causes pain under the heel, especially with the first steps in the morning or prolonged standing. At Reliefic Physiotherapy, we assess foot mechanics, calf flexibility, and gait. Care involves manual therapy, soft tissue techniques, stretching, strengthening exercises, and, in some cases, shockwave therapy to reduce pain and promote tissue recovery.
