Plantar Fasciitis Physio in Bunbury
Wake Up Without Heel Pain
Do your first steps in the morning feel like walking on nails? That burning, stabbing pain in your heel or arch could be Plantar Fasciitis—a stubborn but treatable condition.
At Spine & Sports Physiotherapy Bunbury, we offer targeted treatment plans to relieve your pain, restore foot function, and get you back to walking, running, or working comfortably again.
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel and arch pain. It occurs when the plantar fascia—a thick band of connective tissue supporting the arch of your foot—becomes overstretched, irritated, and degenerated over time.
Signs & Symptoms
Pain in the heel or arch of the foot
Sharp or intense pain with your first steps in the morning
Pain with prolonged walking or standing, eased by rest
Tenderness when pressing the underside of the heel
May affect one or both feet
Common Causes & Risk Factors
Plantar Fasciitis often develops gradually and is linked to repetitive strain or poor foot mechanics. Contributing factors include:
Flat feet (excessive pronation)
Tight calves or poor ankle flexibility
Sudden increase in training or walking distance
Walking or running on hard surfaces
Worn-out or unsupportive shoes
Weight gain or obesity
Poor running or walking technique
