Heel Pain


Heel pain usually caused by inflammation,  along the band of
connective tissue running from the heel to the ball of the foot.


Plantar Fasciitis is caused by misaligned arches. Pronation or supination can
cause pulling or stretching of the ligaments.


Due to walking on hard surfaces over the years, our muscle structure weakens,
the bone structure collapses.
Wearing an Orthotic can help you build up
the muscle structure and increase circulation, thereby sending an increase of
red blood cells, oxygen and nutrients to the area of the tear. By supporting the
bone structure, pressure is relieved from the heel.


By redressing the cause of Plantar Fasciitis, the use of painkillers,
cortisone and surgery may be alleviated.

Paul can provide bespoke orthotics
