Plantar fasciitis & heel pain
Prevalence · Walkers, runners & post-pregnancy
That first-step-out-of-bed stab on the heel — relieved short-term by walking, made worse long-term by ignoring.
Typical course of care
6 – 10 sessions over 8 – 10 weeks
Most patients see meaningful change inside the first three sessions. We re-test two markers every visit and adjust the plan in writing.
Common at the clinic
Roughly one in eight assessments at Holistic Physio is for a case like plantar fasciitis & heel pain.
Signs we look for
- Sharp first-step-in-the-morning pain
- Heel pain after sitting for an hour
- Worse on hard surfaces
- Visible thickening of the plantar fascia
How we treat it
Calf and intrinsic foot loading, footwear audit, and dry needling for the gastrocnemius trigger band when present.
We measure baseline range, strength, and one functional task at the first visit, then re-test two of the three markers every session after.
