THE HEEL PAIN PACKAGE 🦶🦶🦶😁😁
We realise that clients coming to clinic with heel pain can be concerned about more than just their problem.
More specifically:
1. Am I getting the right treatment
2. Do I need the treatment?
3. What will be the cost of the treatment?
4. Will I have ongoing costs if I have treatment?
Well, to answer these questions, we have put together the Heel Pain Package.
The Package is priced at £295 (£250 for FHC PLAN MEMBERS)
Included in the Package is:
Initial Assessment/Gait Analysis (£250)
Modified Prefab Foot Orthoses/ Insoles (£100)
Fitting Appointment(£50)
Review Appointment (as required) (£75)
Total Value = £475
Heel Pain Package Price £295, a saving of £180
And, to make things even better, if you come in for your Assessment Appointment and you are not suitable for treatment, you will be charged for a Suitability Appointment only at £75
This package is available until 7th December so book now as clinic space is limited

Not All Heel Pain is Plantar Fasciitis
I would estimate that 20-30% of my entire clinical load is for diagnosis and treatment of heel pain. If you read anything on the internet, you would be convinced that there is no other diagnosis for this than plantar fasciitis(if you want to know the right way to say it, here is the phoenetic version : plan-taar fa-shee-ai-tuhs)
✓ Painful first thing in the morning?
✓ Feels like someone is sticking a knife in your heel?
✓ Eases off after a few minutes?
✓ Painful if you have sat down for a while and stand back up again?
It all sounds like plantar fasciopathy. BUT, more than 50% of the time it is not.
Here are just 3 conditions that present like plantar fasciits but are not and require different management
1. Heel fat pad irritation
2. Calcaneal bone marrow oedema
3. Spring ligament overload
For these 3 conditions, all of the usual plantar fascia advice will have little effect.
If you have heel pain, get a proper diagnosis. Get the RIGHT treatment

Heel pain is the most common complaint that I see in clinic. However, this week I have been doing clinics in the UK and I have seen 3 people in the last 2 days who have been referred with "plantar fasciitis" who have all been misdiagnosed.
They all had a condition called posterior tibial tendon deficiency, a condition much more sinister than plantar fasciopathy.
Fortunately, the referring clinicians( 2 GPs and one physio) all made the effort to refer them to me and they will likely make a full recovery.
However, many are just told to do some calf stretches and roll a bottle under their foot and that nothing can be done.
Don't let this be you.
See someone who knows and will give you a proper diagnosis
