Foot Pain
Foot pain can affect many different areas of the foot and can arise from joints, muscles, tendons, nerves or other soft tissues. It may develop after an injury, a change in activity or gradually over time without one obvious cause.
Because the foot plays such an important role in walking, running and balance, even relatively small problems can have a noticeable effect on everyday movement. Identifying the source of the symptoms can help guide treatment and reduce the impact on your activity.
Common Symptoms
Symptoms may include localised pain, stiffness, tenderness, swelling or discomfort when standing, walking or running. Different conditions can affect the heel, arch, forefoot, toes or other areas and can behave differently with activity.
Possible Causes
Foot pain can result from injury, changes in activity, irritated joints or tendons, nerve-related problems or repeated loading. Footwear and changes in the demands placed on the foot may also influence symptoms.
How Physiotherapy Can Help
Physiotherapy can assess how your foot and lower limb move and respond to load, helping identify the factors most relevant to your symptoms. Rehabilitation can then focus on restoring comfortable movement, strength and capacity.
