Patterson Allied Health

Did you know your plantar fascia is like a built-in shock absorber? This thick band of tissue runs from your heel to your toes, helping you stand, walk, and run. When it becomes irritated — a condition called plantarfasciopathy - every step can feel like you’re treading on a pebble.

Here’s the catch-22: the plantar fascia is loaded every time you’re on your feet, so unlike an arm injury that you can rest in a sling, it never really gets a break. That’s why symptoms can linger.

If you’re suffering, it’s time to call for help. 📞 Call (03) 9776 1600 to make an appointment at Patterson Allied Health. Our osteopaths will assess your whole body for contributing factors (like imbalances in your hips, knees or spine), and work to ease tension in tight muscles, and give you guidance on load management, footwear choices, and walking patterns to reduce strain.
