Heel pain
Heel pain can make first steps in the morning, walking or training feel harder than they should. Several structures around the heel can be involved, so we start by identifying the likely source rather than treating the symptom in isolation.
What we look at
A thorough, practical assessment
- When the pain started and what makes it better or worse
- Recent changes in walking, running, work or footwear
- Joint movement, calf capacity and how you walk
- Whether one or both heels are affected
How we can help
A plan that fits your circumstances
- Clear explanation of the likely cause
- Load and activity advice you can use straight away
- Exercises, footwear changes or hands-on care where suitable
- Orthotics if they are likely to help your specific presentation
- Shockwave therapy may be discussed if symptoms have not settled with other care
