Get Lasting Relief From Heel Pain in Canberra

If you're struggling with heel pain, every step can feel like a chore. Whether it’s a dull ache in the morning or a sharp pain after walking, The Body Lab offers real solutions for people in Canberra.

At The Body Lab, we treat heel pain differently—by understanding the way your whole body moves. Our integrated approach combines acupuncture, biomechanical assessment, and functional movement therapy to get to the root of your pain and keep it from coming back.

What Causes Heel Pain?

  • Plantar Fasciitis – inflammation of the connective tissue under the foot

  • Heel Spurs – calcium deposits causing bony protrusions

  • Achilles Tendinopathy – irritation or degeneration of the Achilles tendon

  • Bursitis or Fat Pad Syndrome

  • Nerve entrapment or biomechanical overload

Our Treatment Approach

We don’t just treat the pain—we treat the pattern. Your first appointment includes:

  • Video gait analysis – to assess how your heel, foot, and ankle move

  • Functional movement testing – to understand load, shock absorption, and balance

  • Targeted acupuncture – to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and restore function

  • Joint mobilisations and strength programming – so you can stay pain-free for good
