Plantar fasciitis is a common label for pain around the underside of the heel, often worse with the first steps after rest. Other causes of heel pain exist, so assessment considers symptom location, activity, footwear and medical history.
How physiotherapy may help
Care may include temporary load modification, calf and foot mobility, progressive strengthening and footwear discussion. Recovery can take time, and complete rest is not always necessary.
Common rehabilitation goals
- Reduce aggravating load while staying appropriately active
- Improve calf and ankle capacity
- Build foot and lower-limb strength
- Return gradually to walking, running or prolonged standing
What happens at a home appointment?
The physiotherapist reviews relevant history, reports and precautions, then assesses movement and function as appropriate. The plan may include education, guided exercise, mobility practice and suitable hands-on care. Progress is reviewed rather than assumed.
