Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves inflammation or irritation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the sole of the foot. Pain is usually felt near the heel, often worse in the morning or after periods of rest, and can become chronic if not managed properly.
At Cura Osteopathy, we take a whole-body approach to treating plantar fasciitis. While the pain is localised in the foot, it’s often linked to tension and imbalance elsewhere—such as tight calf muscles, reduced ankle mobility, or altered gait caused by hip or pelvic dysfunction. All of these can increase strain on the plantar fascia over time.
Osteopathic treatment focuses on releasing tension in the lower limb and foot, improving joint mobility, and addressing any biomechanical contributors. We may use soft tissue techniques, joint articulation, and gentle stretching to support healing and reduce pain. We also provide home advice and exercises to help offload the fascia and build long-term resilience.
If you’re struggling with heel or foot pain, don’t wait for it to become chronic. Get in touch to book an appointment and let’s work together to get you back on your feet.
