FAQs

How an Osteopath Supports Plantarfascitis

Glenn takes a full-body approach to plantar fasciitis and related foot pain. He examines the foot, ankle, leg alignment, and even hip function to identify the root causes of your discomfort.

Treatment may include:

  • Foot and ankle joint mobilisation

  • Myofascial release of the plantar fascia, calf, and hamstrings

  • Biomechanical analysis of gait and stance

  • Advice on footwear, daily activity, and foot strengthening

  • A personalised take-home Wellness Plan

This approach supports practical improvement in daily function, reducing pain while you’re standing, walking, or exercising.

Common Causes of Plantarfascitis

Patients commonly seek help for:

  • Painful first steps in the morning

  • Ongoing heel pain while walking or standing

  • Arch discomfort after activity

  • Calf or ankle tightness affecting gait

  • Load-related foot pain from standing work or sports

  • Previous foot injuries or poor footwear history

Many of these issues are linked to how your body manages load and posture over time, not just the foot itself.

What to Expect in a Plantarfascitis Appointment

Your Initial Consultation includes a detailed assessment of:

  • Foot structure and arch function

  • Ankle range of motion

  • Weight-bearing posture and gait

  • Lower limb and hip alignment

Glenn will then create a tailored session combining hands-on techniques and movement strategies to improve mobility, reduce tension, and support your recovery.
