Foot And Heel Pain

Put your best foot forward with our optimised care.

Put Your Feet First.

Pain in your feet and heels can affect not only the way you move, but also your quality of life. Although you may not think about your foot health often, it’s difficult not to think about when it affects your day-to-day life. Little things like a walk in the park without pain or discomfort may suddenly seem impossible— but they don’t have to be.

Foot And Heel Conditions.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain. It often feels like stabbing pain in the bottom of the foot, usually with your first steps in the morning.

Capsulitis

Capsulitis is where the capsular ligaments that surround a joint become inflamed. While it can occur anywhere in the body, it commonly affects the second toe.

Sever’s Disease

Sever’s disease, also known as calcaneal traction apophysitis, is a condition that causes heel pain in children. It can also be the result of overuse in young athletes.

Sports Injuries

Sports injuries can occur at any level in any sport. Sports injuries typically include sprains and strains, with ankle sprains being one of the most common sports injuries.

Skin And Nail Conditions

Many skin and nail conditions can affect the feet, such as ingrown toenails, corns, calluses, and plantar warts.

Other Foot And Ankle Conditions

Other conditions that can affect the feet and ankles are arthritis, Achilles tendinopathy, Achilles tendon rupture, and having flat feet, also known as fallen arches.

Pilates

Pilates is a great way to exercise that helps your body in so many ways! Our 60-minute classes are limited to 5 people each, and we also offer one-on-one Pilates as well as reformer Pilates. And if you thought it was just a fitness fad, think again! Pilates is an incredible form of exercise for people of all ages and abilities, including those with movement issues, pain, or weak joints.

What You Can Gain From Less Pain.

We understand how every body is different, so we adopt a tailored treatment approach for each patient. Regardless of your condition or injury, we aim to minimise any pain or discomfort you may feel while helping you to get back to your old self. Whether you may benefit most from podiatry, physiotherapy, or a combination of services, our collaborative team work together in an effort to bring you the best results.

In addition to treatment, we realise that prevention is always the best first step to take. That’s why we focus on prevention just as much as we do treatment for any current injuries or conditions, helping you to stay on your feet wherever possible.
