12 Nov Experiencing heel pain first thing in the morning
Do you find yourself limping at times due to severe heel pain
There are many causes for heel pain, 
but Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Plantar Fasciitis is is when there is irritation of the plantar fascia under the foot at the point of insertion into the heel bone called the calcaneus. The plantar fascia is strong thick tissue that runs along the sole of our feet, 
connecting the toes to the heel bone. It an important structure in our foot that provides a supporting role to create the arch of our foot, provide shock absorption and is vital for normal biomechanics of the foot.
Irritation of the plantar fascia often occurs through overuse and overloading due to sports such as running 
and work which requires standing and walking 
for long hours. Very often, people are use orthotics, heel raises and try to stretch their plantar fascia to get relief of their plantar fasciitis. Unfortunately, these methods is effective, usually only provide minimal relief temporarily.
For longer lasting relief and elimination Plantar Fasciitis Heel Pain, here at My Favourite Physio we use the Radial ShockWave Therapy in combination with correction of foot biomechanics, manual therapy, footwear advice and individualised exercise program.
