Ease heel and arch pain with expert Myotherapy. Discover Spectrum Myotherapy’s holistic foot pain treatment for lasting comfort and mobility.

Foot pain can turn everyday activities into a struggle, affecting your comfort and mobility. Whether you’re active, on your feet all day, or simply love walking, plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel discomfort. Tracey Chappell of Spectrum Myotherapy provides tailored foot pain treatment to restore movement and help you step confidently again.

Understanding Plantar Fasciitis: More Than Just Heel Pain

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue (the plantar fascia) that runs along the bottom of your foot becomes inflamed. This fascia supports your arch and absorbs shock when you walk. When it’s overworked or strained, small tears can develop, leading to stiffness, discomfort, and that sharp pain in the heel when you first step out of bed.

Common causes include:

•  Standing for long periods on hard surfaces
•  Overuse from sports or physical work
•  Wearing unsupportive footwear
•  Sudden increases in activity levels
•  Poor foot biomechanics or posture

Ignoring the symptoms can make the condition worse, leading to chronic pain and compensatory issues in your knees, hips, and back. That’s why seeking early foot pain treatment is key to preventing long-term problems.

Myotherapy: A Holistic Path to Healing

Myotherapy focuses on assessing, treating, and managing musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Tracey understands that every step you take involves a complex chain of muscle and joint activity. When one part is out of balance, it affects everything else.

Here’s how myotherapy can help relieve plantar fasciitis and improve mobility:

•  Soft tissue therapy: Gentle and targeted techniques help release tension in the fascia, calves, and surrounding muscles.

•  Dry needling and trigger point therapy: These methods reduce muscle tightness and improve blood flow for faster healing.

•  Joint mobilisation: Tracey assesses foot and ankle movement, restoring natural range and alignment.

•  Exercise prescription: Tracey design specific stretches and strengthening routines to support your arch and improve stability.

•  Education and lifestyle advice: From footwear guidance to posture correction, small changes can make a big difference.

Self-Care & Prevention: Steps You Can Take at Home

Managing plantar fasciitis doesn’t end in the clinic. Combining professional care with at-home practices enhances recovery and prevents recurrence. Try incorporating these strategies into your routine:

•  Stretch regularly: Focus on your calves, Achilles tendon, and the bottom of your foot.
•  Roll your foot: Use a massage ball or frozen water bottle to ease tension and inflammation.
•  Wear supportive shoes: Avoid flat soles; choose footwear with good arch support.
•  Rest when needed: Listen to your body and avoid overloading your feet.
•  Maintain a healthy weight: Less strain means faster healing and less pain.
