How massage therapy, physiotherapy, and chiropractic/chiropody can help with plantar fasciitis.
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that affects the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that runs from the heel to the toes. It causes pain and inflammation in the heel or arch of the foot, making it difficult to stand, walk or exercise. If left untreated, plantar fasciitis can become chronic and affect your overall quality of life.
Massage Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis
Massage therapy can be an effective treatment for plantar fasciitis. It can help increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing. Massage therapists can use a variety of techniques to target the affected areas, including deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release.

Physiotherapy for Plantar Fasciitis
Physiotherapy is another effective treatment for plantar fasciitis. A physiotherapist can develop an exercise plan that targets specific areas of weakness and improves overall strength and flexibility. They may also use modalities such as ultrasound, laser therapy, or taping to reduce pain and inflammation.

Chiropractic/Chiropody for Plantar Fasciitis
Chiropractic/chiropody can also be helpful in treating plantar fasciitis. Modern chiropractic techniques focus on mobilizing and manipulating soft tissue, rather than simply aligning bones. A chiropractor/chiropodist can use manual techniques such as Active Release Technique (ART) or Graston Technique to break down scar tissue and improve range of motion in the affected area. They may also use orthotics, such as custom-made shoe inserts, to help correct any biomechanical issues that may be contributing to the condition.
