Plantar fasciitis can be more than an annoying distraction – it can be a deeply uncomfortable condition that disrupts your routine. It’s especially problematic if you spend a lot of time on your feet. The good news is that the physical therapists at REPAIR SI offer plantar fasciitis physical therapy treatments. We use a range of fully customized techniques to reduce pain and keep it manageable in the future.
Key benefits of physical therapy
We can target plantar fasciitis pain at its root. This pain stems from the plantar fascia, a band of tissue on the bottom of your foot, becoming stressed. The stress may come from foot anatomy, everyday activity, athletic training and other factors. Standard treatment is conservative, and may involve physical therapy.
The benefits of physical therapy can include:
1. Less pain
Physical therapy can stretch and strengthen different parts of your foot. This can put less pressure on the bottom of your foot, where pain originates. Plus, it can help you reduce the risk of more plantar fasciitis pain in the future.
2. Greater mobility
Taking care of your foot with physical therapy for plantar fasciitis can help you get back to the things you want to do. One of our physical therapists can help you reach your goals, whether you want to get back on your feet at work or back in the game in your favorite sport.
3. Easier surgical recovery
While most people recover from plantar fasciitis with conservative treatment, others do need surgical treatment. If you have surgery, incorporating physical therapy in your recovery process can help. Physical therapy can ease your pain and encourage healing.
For the most benefit, physical therapy should be fully personalized. Our team has a wide range of treatment options to tailor to you. These treatment options include manual therapy, functional therapeutic exercise and fitness training. We also offer comprehensive foot and ankle care beyond plantar fasciitis treatment, because your foot pain is only one part of a larger picture. Options include dry needling, acupuncture and chiropractic care.
