Understanding my Foot Pain

Why does my foot hurt?

Have you been on your feet more than usual?

Your foot pain (heel pain like plantar fasciopathy) is from the soft tissues getting squashed under foot too much.

Your capacity to handle how much you are on your feet, doesn’t match the strength of the tissues.

What can we do about it?

Jenkins Physiotherapy uses hands on manual therapy, exercises, dry needling, advice and ongoing recommendations to help your body recover.

We make an assessment of your walking, arches (high or low), and strength.

We make recommendations around supportive footwear, orthotics or cushioning.

We want to find exercises that you can perform to help you back to normal gradually, however sometimes strapping and holding it together is the best intervention sometimes too.

If it’s too sore often ice, painkillers and supportive taping is needed to get started.

Your foot may require orthotics, or a soft gel heel cup, taping, and strengthening work.

How can I get started?

Simply reach out to our friendly admin team, or go to our booking page and schedule an appointment at Jenkins Physiotherapy, Madeley in the Perth northern suburbs.

Remember your health fund card, or any referral documents from your GP or specialist to present to admin on arrival.

Wear something comfortable, so that we can assess the area that is of main concern.
