That sharp, stabbing pain in the heel with your first steps in the morning is one of the most recognisable symptoms in musculoskeletal medicine — and one of the most common reasons people visit a physiotherapist.

Plantar fasciitis affects approximately 10% of the population at some point in their lifetime according to research published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (2003) — with peak incidence in runners, active adults and those who spend long hours on their feet. Despite how stubborn it can feel, the evidence is clear that most cases respond very well to a structured physiotherapy program.

At Interlink Physiotherapy we help patients across Hamilton and Ancaster get to the cause of their heel pain and resolve it with an evidence-based treatment plan — so you can get back on your feet without thinking twice.
