Ever get that burning under your feet on those first few steps in the morning? That pain around the base of your second toe on walking or running? Tenderness on your heel touching the ground? How about pain on the top of your foot that seems to be unescapable?
Our feet are the basis of our structure. Every week they carry out weight to work, to pick up the kids, to the footy or keep us upright whilst we make dinner. They allow us to go for a run, to play the sport we love, to drive our car and even to have a shower.
For most of us though, our feet are just these things at the end of our legs….until something goes wrong. Then every step becomes a nightmare. Every step becomes stressful.
The foot is a very complexed joint. In fact you might be surprised to hear a large percentage of the body’s bones are in your feet!
To govern all these bones, your balance and your ability to walk, the body requires a complicated series of neurological events. Some muscles need to turn on whilst others need to turn off to allow for these actions to occur. Add to this the huge number of ligamentous connections and it’s not hard to see why so many things go wrong.
For some, foot pain can be due to specific pathology such as strains, tears, and infection. But for most, foot pain is often due to failure of the complicated movement mechanisms housed within the feet.
This often comes about from trauma, poor footwear or other intricate imbalances. Occasionally these can be made worse by other factors such as inflammation.
You don’t need to struggle with pain every day. With a thorough assessment of the intricate workings of your feet, a detailed look of our how they integrate with the rest of your structure and our digital scanning technology we can often get to the root causes of foot dysfunction very quickly. If your team feels your problem requires a very specialized approach, then we can point you in the right direction for the assistance you need.
Either way an integrative approach to dealing with inflammation, bio-mechanics, structure and neurology will help you get back on your feet as quickly as possible.

Heel pain is the result of a failure in one of many system that govern gait. This can come from poor big toe movement, muscular strains and imbalances, hip, knee or ankle injury and even spinal problems. These can present in many different ways such as:
A thorough investigation of all lower limb and spinal mechanics is critical in ascertaining the route of dysfunction.
Yes, of course. But success is greatly dependant on isolating the cause of dysfunction. This requires a thorough assessment of all factors that influence foot and calf function. This often includes:
Isolating and correcting the cause of dysfunction is critical for reducing load and damage, whilst managing the physiological and inflammatory changes can help with healing.
Collapsed arches, altered gait, limited first toe movement, muscular insufficiency or pelvic imbalance can increase stress on the plantar fascia or Achilles tendon leading to damage and inflammation.
The foot does not function in isolation. It is part of an entire kinetic chain that needs to be assessed as such.
Sometimes.
Some patients benefit from short-term support, while others improve through balancing biomechanics, strengthening intrinsic muscles or neuromuscular retraining alone.
Everyone is different and never one-size-fits-all.
Both.
Overuse can trigger symptoms — but underlying instability or compensation elsewhere usually predisposes the heel to overload. Finding the source of the overload is critical. This might be reduced capacity of the muscle due to energy restraints or excessive loading due to a muscle not doing its job.
We always look for why the load exceeded capacity.
Many patients notice early improvement within weeks. Chronic cases may take longer depending on tissue sensitivity and neurological involvement.
Consistency with care and following guidelines significantly influences outcomes.
