Do you suffer from muscle pain such as tight calves or tight hamstrings?
Dry needling along with stretches and exercises can help you
✅maintain the length of the muscle
✅build strength.
What is DRY NEEDLING?
👉 Dry needling is a procedure in which a thin needle is inserted into the skin and muscle directly at a trigger point which causes a local twitch response. This is the muscle quickly contracting and relaxing.
Dry needling can also assist in
 reducing swelling and tightness
 promoting healing
In order to get the maximum effect, you should follow the stretching exercises our podiatrists will give you here at SOLE THERAPY as it is important to strengthen the effected muscle and correct posture to prevent the pain from coming back. Stretching increases the flow of blood to your muscles.
Stretching exercises help
 Improve posture
 Promote blood circulation
 Improve flexibility
These therapies have help thousands of our clients recover from injury and live a pain free lifestyle naturally without the need for drug and surgical intervention.

🔸Pronated or ‘flat feet’
🔸Injury from impact
🔸Tight muscles- calf and plantar fascia
🔸Change in footwear

Come and visit us SOLE THERAPY can assist with improving symptoms of numbness and tingling in the feet. 😉
👉Numbness and tingling in the feet is an increasingly common complaint coming into SOLE THERAPY. It can be a sign that there is nerve damage in the lower leg. These symptoms are often referred to peripheral neuropathy.
🔸Gait patterns can cause increased friction between the soles of the feet and the surfaces they are walking on. Certain foot types can put extra pressure on the balls of the feet during activity. Standing on firm floors for prolonged periods can also cause burning in the soles of the feet.
👉SOLE THERAPY can assist with your management of peripheral neuropathy by:
✅Identifying the cause- this is key in personalizing your management plan
✅Diabetic assessments to check your level of neuropathy
✅At home advice on diabetic foot care
✅Posture and gait assessments to determine at which level a nerve may be impinged
✅Advice on correctly fitting footwear and footwear that is appropriate for the task or activity
✅Correction of gait and posture with custom orthotics that are supportive and cushioned
Come and visit us SOLE THERAPY can assist with improving symptoms.

👉TENS Therapy for Feet: Drug-Free Plantar Fasciitis Relief👈
TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. In simple terms, it stimulates your nerves via an electrical current through your skin leading to pain relief! 😊
😉At SOLE THERAPY we use TENS machines in all Plantar Fasciitis cases to provide safe, drug free pain relief. 👣👣By placing electrode pads on the heel, arch, and other sore areas we are doing several things:
🔸Blocking pain signals
🔸Replacing pain signals with a gentle, massage like tingling
🔸Releasing endorphins to the area; the body’s natural pain killer!
🔸Increasing blood flow which encourages healing
We will often combine TENS therapy with strapping, padding, dry needling, and orthotics to achieve the best results!
✅TENS is just one of many ways SOLE THERAPY can help with Plantar Fasciitis. Contact us today on 02 9538 1183 or book online www.soletherapy.com.au to see how we can help you today! 💃

👣Summer Foot Care Tips 👣
👉The warm summer days are almost here! 😉Check out SOLE THERAPY’s top tips for happy summer feet.
✅Thongs- The Aussie summer go to! Great for protecting feet from hot sand at the beach or spread of foot fungus. But avoid for long walks as they don’t provide enough support.
✅Avoid Fungus- Air out your feet daily, change socks throughout the day if your feet get sweaty and wear shoes in communal wet areas.
✅Sunscreen- Feet can get burnt too! Remember to apply sunscreen all over your feet especially the front of the ankles.
✅Heel care- Skin on the heels can be prone to dryness and cracking in summer. Use a pumice stone weekly and apply a good urea-based cream to your feet daily.
