Effective Relief from Plantar Fasciitis in Canberra

Tired of stabbing heel pain first thing in the morning? You might be dealing with plantar fasciitis—a common condition we treat every day at The Body Lab in Canberra.

We go beyond symptom relief. Our integrated approach combines acupuncture, functional movement therapy, and advanced gait analysis to uncover why your fascia is inflamed—and help you fix it.

What Is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the thick connective tissue (plantar fascia) that runs along the bottom of your foot. It’s commonly caused by:

  • Excessive load through the arch or heel

  • Flat or high arches that don’t absorb shock well

  • Prolonged standing, walking, or running without adequate mobility

  • Tight calves or altered ankle mechanics

Our Comprehensive Treatment Strategy

At The Body Lab, we treat the why, not just the where:

✅ Acupuncture: Reduce inflammation and improve tissue healing
✅ Movement retraining: Learn to absorb force through your foot and arch
✅ Gait re-education: Analyse and correct walking and standing habits
✅ Joint mobilisation: Improve ankle, heel, and foot mobility
✅ Strength exercises: Rebuild resilience from the ground up

Take Our Plantar Fasciitis Check

🦶 Not sure it’s plantar fasciitis? Ask yourself:

  • Is the pain worse when getting out of bed?

  • Is it sore under your heel or arch?

👉 If yes, it’s time to treat it before it worsens. Book an assessment today.

FAQs About Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

Can acupuncture really help with plantar fasciitis?
Yes, it helps reduce inflammation, increase circulation, and calm irritated nerves in the fascia.

Do I need orthotics or surgery?
In most cases, no. Addressing movement, posture, and tissue health naturally reduces the need for these interventions.

Is this treatment painful?
Nope. Most clients find acupuncture relaxing, and the exercises are adapted to your comfort and progress.

How soon can I expect results?
You may feel relief after 2–4 sessions, but long-term change requires consistent treatment and movement habit retraining.
