What causes foot pain?

Foot pain is a common issue that can develop gradually or strike suddenly. It’s often caused by overuse, poor biomechanics, unsupportive footwear, or underlying conditions like plantar fasciitis, arthritis, or tendonitis.

  • Symptoms vary depending on the cause but commonly include:

    • Sharp or stabbing pain in the heel or arch (especially in the morning)

    • Aching, burning, or throbbing in the foot or toes

    • Swelling, redness, or tenderness

    • Pain that worsens with standing, walking, or exercise

    • Stiffness or limited mobility in the foot or ankle

    • Numbness or tingling (especially with nerve involvement)

    • Plantar fasciitis and heel pain

    • Flat feet or high arches

    • Overuse from standing, walking, or high-impact activity

    • Poor footwear or lack of arch support

    • Joint stiffness or arthritis

    • Nerve compression (e.g. Morton’s neuroma)

    • Previous fractures or foot injuries

    • Sudden increases in activity or training load

    • Biomechanical imbalances or weak foot stabilisers

    • Plantar fasciitis – inflammation causing heel or arch pain

    • Tendonitis – overuse injuries in the foot or ankle tendons

    • Stress fractures – small cracks in the bone from repetitive load

    • Joint stiffness or arthritis – limits movement and causes chronic pain

    • Tarsal tunnel syndrome – nerve compression leading to tingling or burning

    • Biomechanical issues – poor alignment affecting how the foot moves and absorbs force

How do we treat foot pain?

Physiotherapy for foot pain starts with a detailed assessment to identify what’s causing your symptoms—whether it’s plantar fasciitis, poor biomechanics, joint stiffness, or something else. From there, we create a personalised treatment plan to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore proper foot function. Common treatments include:

  • A person receives physical therapy, stretching arm; mirrored reflection.

    Hands On Therapy

    We use soft tissue therapy, Active Release, and the Fascial Abrasion Technique (FAT) to relieve tension in the plantar fascia, arch, and surrounding muscles—helping reduce pain and improve mobility.

  • Close-up of acupuncture needles in a person's shoulder during treatment

    Dry Needling

    Dry needling targets deep muscle and nerve tension in the foot and lower leg. It helps reduce tightness, ease nerve-related symptoms, and support healing—especially useful for chronic or stubborn foot pain.

  • Man with kinesiology tape on shoulder and tattoo

    Joint & Arch Assessment

    We assess foot and ankle biomechanics, joint mobility, and arch alignment to uncover contributing factors like flat feet or stiffness. This guides your personalised treatment and ensures lasting results.

    Exercise & Recovery Support

    From stretching and mobility work to balance and strengthening exercises, we build a rehab plan that supports long-term foot health. We may also use taping or bracing to improve support and reduce pain between sessions.
