Physiotherapy for Plantar Fasciitis in Burnaby: Get Instant Heel Pain Relief

How Does Physiotherapy Help with Plantar Fasciitis?

‍

Physiotherapy addresses both the symptoms and underlying issue causing plantar fasciitis. At BLVD Wellness and Recovery, your rehabilitation program may include:

‍

Manual Therapy & Fascia Release Techniques

Our physiotherapists use manual therapy to release tension in the plantar fascia and calf muscles. This reduces inflammation and improves foot mobility.

‍

Shockwave Therapy

For chronic fasciitis or stubborn cases, this advanced and non-invasive treatment stimulates blood flow and repairs tissue without the need for medication. Learn more about how Shockwave Therapy treats Plantar Fasciitis.

‍

Stretching Exercises & Targeted Fasciitis Exercises

You’ll learn daily calf stretches, foot stretches, and band exercises to improve flexibility and reduce tension in the fascia. Stretching the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon is key to pain relief.

‍

Strengthening Exercises for Long-Term Relief

Weak arches and tight calves contribute to fasciitis. We incorporate calf raises, exercises for plantar fasciitis, and leg strengthening to improve foot mechanics.

‍

At-Home Tools: Tennis Ball Roll & More

Simple tools like a tennis ball roll can help release tight fascia between sessions. We’ll show you how to use these safely at home.

‍

Posture & Gait Correction

Improper walking patterns often make fasciitis worse. Your therapist may adjust your gait and recommend proper footwear to support healing.

‍

Education & Custom Program Design

Every patient receives a detailed, step-by-step rehabilitation program that outlines exercises, recovery timelines, and safe return to activity.
