Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, often triggered by inflammation of the plantar fascia — a thick band of tissue that supports the foot arch. It can cause sharp pain in the heel, especially with the first steps in the morning or after long periods of standing. Physiotherapy offers proven treatments to relieve pain and restore mobility.
