🦶 Foot Pain Isn’t the Problem — It’s the Symptom.

If your feet are out of balance, your entire body feels it.
Heel pain, arch pain, knee discomfort, hip tightness, even back pain often start with poor foot alignment.

❌ The Problem

Flat feet, high arches, over-pronation, or long hours on your feet can cause imbalance.
Generic insoles don’t correct it — they just cushion the pain while the problem gets worse.

✅ The Solution

Custom Made Orthotics from Step By Step Footcare 👣

Process: In shoe digital gait analysis ( data showing how your feet function in your own shoes - later can compare before and after)
: Custom plaster casting of each foot in your biomechanically optimized position
: Cast with Rx gets sent to a professional manufacturing lab

Designed specifically for your feet, your gait, and your lifestyle.

✨ What custom orthotics do:

Restore balance & alignment

Reduce foot, knee, hip & back pain

Improve posture and stability

Deliver lasting comfort, not temporary relief

When your feet are properly supported, everything above them works better.
Relief isn’t luck — it’s custom.

👉 Take the first step back to pain-free movement.

🦶 Plantar Fasciitis – What’s Really Happening Under Your Foot

This image shows the plantar fascia, a thick band of connective tissue that runs from the heel bone (calcaneus) to the toes. Its main job is to support the arch and help the foot act like a spring during walking and running.

🔍 The Biomechanics Behind the Pain

With every step, the plantar fascia is loaded and stretched

Excessive load, poor foot mechanics, or repeated strain causes:

Micro-tears at the heel attachment

Inflammation near the calcaneus

Thickening and reduced elasticity over time

📌 The pain is usually worst in the morning because the fascia stiffens overnight and is suddenly loaded when you stand.

⚠️ Common Biomechanical Contributors

❌ Prolonged standing or walking
❌ Over-pronation or very high arches
❌ Tight calf muscles & Achilles tendon
❌ Sudden increase in activity
❌ Poor footwear or lack of arch support

🔗 It’s Not Just a Foot Problem

Plantar fasciitis is often part of a kinetic chain issue:

Limited ankle dorsiflexion → increased heel stress

Poor hip & core control → altered foot loading

Calf tightness → constant pull on the heel

✅ Key Treatment Principles

✔ Reduce excessive load (not total rest)
✔ Improve calf & plantar fascia flexibility
✔ Strengthen intrinsic foot muscles
✔ Address ankle, knee, and hip mechanics
✔ Use supportive footwear when needed

🧠 Take-Home Message

👉 Plantar fasciitis is a load-management and movement problem, not just “heel pain.”
Treating only the pain without fixing mechanics leads to recurrence.

Bringing Balance Back to Your Life

Alnoor (Al) Ladhani started Step by Step Professional Family Foot Care to help people live healthy, active lives. While deciding what career he wanted to pursue, his passion for helping other people and making them smile was what drew him to chiropody. He attended The Michener Institute for Applied Health Sciences and after he graduated in 1997, he started his career by doing house calls. He soon decided that he would be able to provide better services by establishing a dedicated foot care clinic. He saw that there was a lack of services available in downtown Toronto and opened the doors of Step by Step Professional Foot Care at 27 Queen Street in November of 1997. Al gets excited about providing great health care service to his patients. With 20 years of experience, he is a leader in advanced podiatric treatments and is continuously updating his knowledge to better serve his patients. His patients benefit from his ability to think creatively and find solutions that fit their lifestyle. Al’s philosophy on life is to work hard, stay focussed, and to strive to make positive change in people’s lives. He loves to teach, and has a passion for providing outreach care in under-serviced areas around the world. Spending more time on his charitable work is one of his life’s goals.

With all things being great there was one thing still missing in Al’s life and that is the passion for the outdoors. Came to Belleville in 2016 to fullfill this gap. After hours and days and weeks of fishing, golfing and touring the beautiful counties in the Quinte area , Al realized that the good people of Belleville are under serviced in the area of health care and more precisely the area of mobility, fall prevention and advanced footcare. After searching many facilities, the most perfect location was aquired, and that was The City Of Belleville’s Rec. Center. The property was completely renovated to facillitate Al’s vision for the people of Bellville and surrounding counties. This vision is to provide the technology , unbeatable service and fair value that everyone should have available to them.

If you are suffering from pain or discomfort in your feet or lower back, have diabetes, sports injuries, or simply have overworked, tired feet, give Alnoor Ladhani and Step by Step Orthotic, Mobility & Gait Center a call; he’d love to get started on finding your perfect solution! And remember, children can also have foot pain; his clinic is a one stop shop for foot pain relief for the whole family.
