Stepping Into Comfort: Expert Physiotherapy For Happy Feet

Stepping Into Comfort: Expert Physiotherapy For Happy Feet

Physiotherapy is a highly beneficial treatment for a wide range of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. From addressing injuries and illnesses to helping individuals with developmental disabilities and other forms of disability, physiotherapy is crucial in restoring mobility and promoting regular functionality.

One area where physiotherapy can be particularly effective is in treating foot-related issues. Our feet bear the weight of our entire body, so it’s no wonder that they can become overworked and prone to discomfort or injury. By providing specialised care and targeted exercises, we can address foot problems such as plantar fasciitis, arch pain, and foot instability, helping individuals find relief and improve their overall quality of life.

I went to Barry Murphy Mid April for physical therapy treatment due to ongoing pain in my left hip and lower back brought on from running. In short Barry was fantastic. Not only did he help alleviate symptoms he also gave me the tools and skills to ensure that I wont end up in the same place again. Thanks to Barry, I now have a much better understanding of my body and how it works and how to take care of it. Finally he's a lovely guy and completely put me at my ease.

Yvonne is an angel on this earth! So friendly and professional at the same time. I came to her with lower back problems that I have had for years, after one session I felt immediate relief! It was the best birthday present I have ever gotten! I did a couple of sessions and I went from not being able to walk far without being in pain to walking up mountains without pain. Cannot recommend her enough!

Came to Head2Toe after getting a sports injury a couple of weeks ago. They were recommended to me, and all I can say is that I had a brilliant experience. I worked with Ellen who showed great knowledge and professionalism! I now have a better understanding of my injury and what to do going forward, can't recommend them enough.

I would highly recommend Head2Toe! I have previously worked with Ellen in relation to a knee injury, she is very professional and highly efficient in her work. Between dry needling, massage and her homecare advice, I am now pain free. Could not have asked for a better experience in getting my injury treated!

I couldn’t recommend Head2Toe enough. From their friendly staff to an easy and efficient booking system and most importantly the services they provide, I have been 100% satisfied by all. I have seen Ellen for dry needling and then rehab and haven’t had any issues with my injuries since! Thanks Ellen and all at Head2Toe 🙂

Foot Pain Physiotherapy 

Having physio for your feet will help to alleviate pain and improve function in individuals suffering from foot-related problems. The most common foot conditions that can benefit from physiotherapy include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, flat feet, and bunions.

Our physiotherapist will conduct a thorough assessment to determine the cause of the foot pain and create a personalised treatment plan. This may involve a combination of manual therapy techniques, such as joint mobilisation and soft tissue release, as well as exercises to increase strength, flexibility, and balance in the foot and ankle. In addition to hands-on treatment, we will advise on footwear, orthotic devices, and lifestyle modifications to prevent future foot pain.
