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.
FAQs
How long until I feel better?
Timelines vary with severity and load, but many people improve over weeks to months; full resolution can take longer in stubborn cases.
What is shockwave therapy?
It delivers controlled acoustic pulses to the sore area to trigger a healing response and encourage blood flow; treatments are brief and done as a short series.
Can I keep exercising?
We’ll usually dial down impact temporarily and steer you toward lower-load options while the fascia settles, then rebuild activity progressively.
Claims and rebates
Private health extras and Medicare/CDM rebates depend on eligibility and cover. (Devices like semi-custom vs custom orthoses are claimed differently.)
