Foot pain can be incredibly debilitating, affecting your ability to walk, stand, and perform daily activities.

If you’ve been suffering from foot pain and haven’t found relief, it’s time to seek professional help. Our experienced physiotherapists will assess your condition, identify the root cause of your pain, and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you get back on your feet—literally.
Understanding Your Foot and the Causes of Pain
The foot is a complex structure consisting of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments that work together to support your body’s weight and allow you to move. When any of these structures become injured or strained, it can lead to foot pain. Understanding the anatomy of the foot and the common causes of pain is the first step toward effective treatment.
What You Should Know About Your Foot
The foot is made up of 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These components work together to provide support, stability, and mobility. The foot can be divided into three main sections:
- The Forefoot: This includes the toes and the metatarsals (long bones in the foot).
- The Midfoot: The arch of the foot, which helps absorb shock and distribute weight.
- The Hindfoot: This includes the heel and ankle, which provide support and allow for movement.
Due to the foot’s complex structure and the significant weight it bears, it’s susceptible to various conditions that can cause pain and discomfort.
Common Foot Pain Conditions That May Occur
There are many different causes of foot pain, ranging from minor issues to more serious conditions. Some of the most common foot pain conditions we treat at Realign Pro Physiotherapy include:
- Plantar Fasciitis: Inflammation of the tissue that connects the heel to the toes, often causing heel pain, especially in the morning or after prolonged standing or walking.
- Achilles Tendonitis: Inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone, often causing pain at the back of the heel.
- Flat Feet: When the arches of the feet collapse, leading to pain in the feet, ankles, knees, or lower back.
- Bunions: A bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe, causing pain and discomfort.
- Morton’s Neuroma: A thickening of tissue around a nerve between the toes, often causing pain, tingling, or numbness in the ball of the foot.
- Stress Fractures: Small cracks in the bones of the foot, often caused by repetitive stress or overuse.
- Arthritis: Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can affect the joints in the feet, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness.
- Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons in the foot, often caused by overuse or injury.
- Heel Spurs: Abnormal growths of bone on the heel that can cause pain, especially when walking or standing.
If you are experiencing any of these conditions, it’s important to seek professional treatment to avoid worsening the problem and to start the healing process.
How Can Physical Therapy Relieve My Foot Pain?
Physical therapy is one of the most effective treatments for foot pain, offering a non-invasive approach to healing and recovery. At Realign Pro Physiotherapy, we take a personalized approach to treating foot pain, ensuring that each patient receives the care and attention they need to recover fully. Our physiotherapists use a combination of techniques to address the root cause of your pain, improve mobility, and restore function to your foot.
Our Foot Pain Treatment Approach Includes:
- Comprehensive Assessment: We begin by evaluating your foot, assessing your posture, walking pattern (gait), and any areas of pain or discomfort. This thorough assessment helps us understand the underlying cause of your pain and create a customized treatment plan.
- Manual Therapy: Our physiotherapists use hands-on techniques, such as joint mobilizations and soft tissue massage, to reduce pain, improve flexibility, and restore proper movement to the foot and ankle.
- Therapeutic Exercises: We design a personalized exercise program that targets the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in your foot to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility. These exercises are essential for rehabilitating the foot and preventing future injuries.
- Stretching and Range of Motion Exercises: To alleviate stiffness and improve movement, we incorporate stretching exercises to increase flexibility in the foot and ankle.
- Pain Management: We use various modalities, such as ice/heat therapy, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation, to reduce pain and inflammation in the affected area.
- Footwear and Orthotic Recommendations: Proper footwear plays a crucial role in foot health. We provide advice on choosing the right shoes and, if necessary, recommend custom orthotics to support your foot and improve alignment.
- Ergonomic Education: We educate you on how to modify your daily activities, posture, and movement patterns to reduce strain on your feet and prevent further injury.
- Foot Strengthening: We focus on strengthening the muscles in your feet and lower legs to improve stability and prevent future foot pain.
