What Causes Heel Pain?
Heel pain isn't one-size-fits-all. Here are the most common conditions we see and treat every week.
Plantar Fasciitis
The most common cause of heel pain. A thick band of tissue (the plantar fascia) on the bottom of your foot becomes inflamed, causing sharp pain — especially with your first steps in the morning.
Achilles Tendonitis
Pain at the back of your heel where the Achilles tendon connects to the bone. Common in runners and people who are on their feet all day. It often starts as a mild ache and gets progressively worse.
Fat Pad Bruising
The fat pad under your heel acts as a natural shock absorber. When it gets bruised or thinned out, every step on a hard surface can feel like you're walking on stones.
Bursitis & Inflammation
Small fluid-filled sacs (bursae) around the heel can become inflamed, causing deep, aching pain. This is often misdiagnosed as plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis.
How We Approach Diagnosis & Treatment
We don't guess. We assess, diagnose, and treat with precision — so you get better, faster.
Listen to your story — when it started, what makes it worse, what you've tried
Perform a thorough biomechanical and physical assessment
Identify the root cause — not just the symptoms
Build a personalised treatment plan based on evidence, not guesswork
Track your progress and adjust as needed — until you're pain-free
How We Treat Your Heel Pain
Custom Orthotics
Precisely designed to support your feet, correct biomechanics, and reduce strain on the plantar fascia or Achilles tendon.
Shockwave Therapy
Acoustic waves stimulate healing in damaged tissue. Highly effective for chronic plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis.
Laser Therapy
Low-level laser therapy reduces inflammation and accelerates tissue repair — perfect for acute flare-ups.
Targeted Exercises
Strengthening and stretching programs designed specifically for your condition, your body, and your goals.
Footwear Advice
The wrong shoes can make heel pain worse. We'll help you find footwear that supports recovery.
Load Management
We'll help you modify your activity so you can stay active while your heel heals — not just rest and hope for the best.

Frequently Asked
Questions.
Is my heel pain plantar fasciitis?
+It might be — but it's not always that simple. Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain, but Achilles tendonitis, fat pad bruising, and bursitis can all feel similar. That's why we do a thorough assessment before jumping to conclusions. The right diagnosis means the right treatment — and faster results.
Do I need orthotics for heel pain?
+Not always. Orthotics can be a game-changer for some people, but they're not the answer for everyone. We'll assess your foot mechanics, your lifestyle, and your goals before recommending anything. If orthotics are the right call, we'll custom-design them to fit you perfectly.
Can I still exercise with heel pain?
+In most cases, yes — but it depends on the cause and severity. We'll help you figure out what activities are safe, what to modify, and what to avoid while you recover. The goal is to keep you moving, not stuck on the couch.
Is it worth seeing a podiatrist for heel pain?
+If your heel pain has lasted more than a couple of weeks, isn't improving with rest, or is affecting your daily life — absolutely. The earlier you get it assessed, the faster you'll recover. Ignoring it usually makes it worse and harder to treat down the track.
How much does heel pain treatment cost?
+Your initial 60-minute consultation is from $195. This includes a full biomechanical assessment, diagnosis, and a personalised treatment plan. If orthotics are needed, they start from $349. Shockwave therapy and laser therapy are included in your consultation — no hidden extras.
