Heel pain described as a discomfort at the rear foot is a common complaint we see in the clinic. While heel pain is rarely a sign of something more serious, it can still impact massively on your life and significantly alter your usual activities. People who regularly exercise by jogging or running and adults aged over 40 are commonly affected.

Although plantar fasciopathy or ‘heel spurs’ is one of the most commonly presenting causes of pain, not all heel pain is related to the plantar fascia, many conditions can present as heel pain, so it is important to have your pain and symptoms properly diagnosed. Our physiotherapists will be able to accurately diagnose the underlying source of your heel pain so that appropriate treatment can be provided.
