Frequently Asked Questions

Plantar fasciitis typically improves within 6-12 weeks with appropriate treatment, though chronic cases may take longer. Most patients experience significant relief after 4-6 physiotherapy sessions combined with home exercises.
Not always. We'll assess your tendon and determine appropriate load modifications. Complete rest isn't usually necessary and can be counterproductive. We'll guide you on safe training modifications.
Sometimes, but not always. We'll assess your foot mechanics and determine if orthotics would be beneficial. Often, strengthening exercises and footwear modifications are sufficient.
Balance training, proprioceptive exercises, and appropriate footwear significantly reduce sprain risk. After an initial sprain, proper rehabilitation is crucial to prevent recurrence. We provide comprehensive prevention programs.
