6-Week Plantar Heel Pain Program

Plantar Fasciopathy Treatment (Perth)

Tired of heel or arch pain holding you back? We use a structured, evidence-based plan to calm symptoms, reduce inflammation, and get you moving again—without guesswork. Plantar fasciitis is common (many people experience it during their lifetime), but a targeted approach can speed recovery and help stop it coming back.

Our focused 6-week approach

Across six weeks, your podiatrist combines the right mix of therapies—guided loading and stretches, soft-tissue techniques, and technology-assisted care—to settle pain, restore mobility, and support a safe return to activity, while building habits that reduce recurrence.

 

What’s typically included?

Shockwave Therapy

to stimulate local healing responses and modulate pain. 

Targeted stretching & exercises

 tailored to your stage of recovery. 

Massage/soft-tissue work

to ease tightness in the plantar fascia, Achilles, and calf.

Orthotic options

when biomechanics are a driver—used to offload strain on the fascia. 

Why this works?

A planned program aims to: reduce pain and inflammation, improve ankle/foot mobility, support gradual activity resumption, and lower the chance of flare-ups with better load management and footwear strategies.
