Foot Pain
Foot pain is common condition that affects daily activities such as walking, standing, and exercising. Recent research has shown that foot pain can result from a variety of factors, including improper footwear, repetitive stress, structural abnormalities, and underlying medical conditions.
Plantar fasciitis: Inflammation of the thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot, often causing sharp heel pain, especially with the first steps in the morning.
Achilles tendinitis: Irritation and inflammation of the Achilles tendon due to overuse or tight calf muscles.
Flat feet / fallen arches: A structural condition where the arch of the foot collapses, leading to strain on muscles and ligaments.
Bunions: A bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe, often causing pain and difficulty with footwear.
Metatarsalgia: Pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot, often due to excessive pressure or high-impact activity.
Stress fractures: Small cracks in the bones of the foot caused by repetitive impact or overuse, common in runners and athletes.

Strengthening: Strengthen the muscles supporting the foot and arch to improve stability and reduce strain.
Gait training: Learn the correct walking posture and conduct training to reduce pain that occurs when walking or standing.
