Pain in your foot or heel can stop your movements or make every day difficult or uncomfortable. It can also make it hard or impossible for you to exercise, do a sporting activity and fully enjoy life.
How physiotherapy can help
One way to experience pain relief and restore your motion and flexibility is through physiotherapy. Through joint mobilisation, therapeutic exercise, footwear and activity guidance and other tailored treatment, you can achieve or experience the following:
Relief from pain
Physical comfort
Proper and safe recovery
Improved mobility
Restored functionality and performance
Prevention of further injury
Prevention of pain and injury from recurring
It’s possible that your pain might go away due to rest. However, it’s also possible that it will get worse if neglected. That’s because the injury might get worse. You might not be aware that you’re still doing the activity that caused the injury in the first place. For example, perhaps your repetitive exercise has caused the injury and pain or your footwear and everyday activities are the things to blame.
Your feet and your health and quality of life
It’s estimated that the average person has walked about 120,000 kilometres by age 50. With that distance and the everyday use of our feet and heels, it’s no wonder why they can get hurt and injured from time to time.
However, because of the injury and pain, it can totally affect your health and quality of life. Because of foot pain, you won’t be able to properly exercise or participate in sports. This will also restrict your mobility and lead to social isolation. This will affect your mental and physical health especially when recovery takes far longer than expected.
Here at ProMovement Physio, our goal is to help restore your mobility and get rid of the pain. Through a personalised treatment program we’ll design for you, your feet and heels will get into a better condition. Our team will also provide you guidance on how to safely do your everyday tasks and activities so you can prevent further injury, stay active and accomplish more.
