Plantar fasciitis is a painful inflammation of the plantar fascial the thick band of tissue running along the sole of your foot from the heel to the toes. It’s one of the most common foot conditions we treat and one we get consistently excellent results with, particularly when shockwave therapy is part of the plan.
What causes plantar fasciitis?
It develops when the plantar fascia is repeatedly stressed beyond its capacity to recover, leading to degeneration and inflammation at its attachment to the heel. Risk factors include sudden increases in activity, prolonged standing, flat feet or high arches, tight calf muscles, and poor footwear. It’s common in runners, retail workers, nurses, and teachers.
The hallmark symptom is sharp heel pain first thing in the morning or after periods of rest, which may ease with movement but returns after prolonged activity.
Shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis
Shockwave therapy is our most effective treatment for plantar fasciitis that has been present for more than 6–8 weeks. It stimulates the body’s healing response in the affected tissue, breaking the cycle of chronic inflammation. Most patients see significant improvement within 4–6 sessions, often after years of unsuccessful treatments elsewhere.
Alongside shockwave, we address the mechanical contributors calf tightness, foot mechanics, load management to prevent recurrence.

How we treat it
Our approach to plantar fasciitis.
01
Shockwave therapy
Our primary treatment for plantar fasciitis. Radial shockwave stimulates healing in the degenerated tissue, breaking the cycle of chronic inflammation where other treatments have failed. Most patients notice improvement from session two or three.
02
Soft tissue release
Targeted manual therapy to the calf, Achilles tendon, and plantar fascia. Tight calf muscles are the single biggest mechanical driver of plantar fasciitis releasing them reduces load on the heel and accelerates recovery.
03
Gait & load analysis
TOG 3D gait analysis identifies the foot mechanics and lower limb movement patterns keeping your plantar fascia overloaded. We use this to guide footwear advice, orthotics if needed, and a graded return to activity plan.
Simple, honest fees.

Is shockwave therapy painful for plantar fasciitis?
It can cause some discomfort during treatment and mild soreness for 24–48 hours after. This is normal and usually indicates the tissue is responding. Most patients find it very tolerable.
How many shockwave sessions will I need?
Most plantar fasciitis cases require 4–6 sessions of shockwave therapy, typically spaced one week apart.
My plantar fasciitis has been going on for years can you still help?
Yes. Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for chronic plantar fasciitis. Even long-standing cases often respond well.
Do I need a scan before starting treatment?
No. We can diagnose plantar fasciitis clinically. Imaging is rarely required.
