Action First Physiotherapy at the Old Girls' School

23/01/2026

Have you got pain in the soles of your feet? Especially first thing in the morning and when weight bearing for periods of time? Is it stopping you from taking part in your daily routine?
Physiotherapy can help ease the symptoms and allow healing to occur.
Booking a physiotherapy assessment as a first point of contact is a step in the right direction!
Traditional physiotherapy methods such as stretching, strengthening, hands on interventions and advice may be enough to resolve your pain.

If your problem has been lingering for more than 3 months, shockwave therapy is an alternative option, especially if first line treatments haven't worked.
Shockwave therapy helps plantar fasciitis by stimulating healing in damaged tissue, increasing blood flow, and reducing pain signals.

💥 How Shockwave Therapy Works

Stimulates tissue repair: High‑energy sound waves are directed into the heel, which encourages the plantar fascia to heal by increasing cellular activity.

Improves blood flow: The acoustic energy boosts circulation in the area, helping the body repair chronic inflammation.

Reduces pain signalling: Shockwaves disrupt nerve activity that sends pain signals, often giving relief after a 3-6 sessions.

Breaks down scar tissue: Long‑term plantar fasciitis can cause thickened, stiff tissue; shockwave helps remodel it over time.

Non‑invasive alternative to surgery: No injections, no anaesthetic, and minimal downtime.

🦶 Why It’s Used for Plantar Fasciitis

Chronic cases: lasted for 3-6 months + and hasn’t improved with stretching, orthotics, or rest.

Targets the root cause: Instead of masking pain, it encourages the fascia to heal at the tissue level.

Quick sessions: Usually 3–4 sessions, about 20–30 minutes each.

⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind
Not instant relief: Improvement often builds over weeks as tissue heals.

Mild soreness is common: Some people feel temporary discomfort after treatment.

Success rates are encouraging: Many patients report reduced pain and better function, especially in chronic cases.
