struggling with plantar fasciitis?
Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, often making even basic activities like walking or standing uncomfortable. If you’re struggling with pain in your heel or the arch of your foot, FORRM Strength and Recovery is here to help.
Our experienced Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists specialise in treating Plantar Fasciitis, offering personalised treatment plans to relieve pain, improve mobility, and prevent future flare-ups.
Common Pain Points for Clients with plantar fasciitis.
Sharp Heel Pain with Walking or Standing: Many people with Plantar Fasciitis experience sharp, stabbing pain in the heel, especially after prolonged periods of rest. This discomfort can make it difficult to walk or stand for extended periods, affecting your ability to perform daily activities.
Morning Pain and Stiffness: One of the hallmark signs of Plantar Fasciitis is intense pain and stiffness in the foot upon waking in the morning. This can be frustrating and make it difficult to start your day on the right foot—literally.
Pain after Exercise: While physical activity is important, people with Plantar Fasciitis often notice increased heel pain after exercise or long periods of standing. This makes it challenging to stay active or maintain a fitness routine.
Arch Pain and Tenderness: In addition to heel pain, Plantar Fasciitis can cause tenderness and pain in the arch of the foot, making it uncomfortable to walk, especially barefoot or on hard surfaces.
