Happy Bank Holiday Weekend!

As the bank holiday approaches, more people come in, excited to spend the weekend outside walking/running/cycling, etc.with family or friends. As a result, more and more people with heel pain are visiting our clinic.

Don't worry if you're experiencing heel pain; you're not alone. One of the most common complaints in our clinic is heel pain.

Anyone can get heel pain, no matter what age, weight or how active you are. Many people have tried numerous treatments and seen numerous healthcare professionals before coming to our clinic.

The most common type of heel pain seen is the dreaded ‘Plantar Fasciitis’

So what is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition that causes pain in the bottom of the heel as well as pain in the sole of the foot. The plantar fascia is a web-like, thick ligament that connects your heel to the front of your foot. It helps you walk and run by supporting the arch of your foot.

Your plantar fascia ligaments are subjected to a great deal of wear and tear on a daily basis. They act as shock absorbers, supporting the foot's arch. Excessive pressure on your feet can damage or tear the ligaments; the plantar fascia becomes inflamed, causing heel pain and stiffness.

Most common symptoms are:

😫 Pain first thing in the morning
😫Pain going from sitting standing after rest
😫 Pain at the end of a walk

Plantar fasciitis can be acute or chronic. Acute plantar fasciitis in the heel has an initial onset of less than 6 weeks. When it goes on longer than this we call it chronic.

The main difference is the recovery time. Chronic issues can take a lot longer to heal, so if you have heel pain it is better to act fast.

Here in Total Care Physio we can help get you back on your feet if you are getting heel pain.

We can help treat both acute or plantar fasciitis.
