Targeted care to help manage pain, improve movement, and support recovery.

Foot pain can make every step uncomfortable — whether it’s from long hours on your feet, increased activity, or a recent injury. It’s one of the most common issues we see at Rapid Recovery, and our team helps people manage it through a combination of assessment, treatment, and education.

The most frequent cause we see is Plantar Fasciitis, though we also assist people with ankle sprains, tendon irritation, and overuse injuries.

Osteopathy for Foot Pain

(AHPRA-registered practitioners)

When you see one of our Osteopaths, your session begins with a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis to understand the root of your foot pain — whether it’s coming from the plantar fascia, ankle, calf, or even the way your hips and knees move.

Your Osteopath will:

• Assess how your feet, ankles, knees, and hips work together during movement
• Identify muscle, joint, or postural factors contributing to your discomfort
• Explain findings clearly and answer your questions
• Create a management plan that may include:
  • Gentle joint and soft-tissue techniques
  • Targeted stretching or strengthening exercises
  • Advice on load management, footwear, and pacing
  • Education around movement and recovery

Osteopathic care may assist with:

• Plantar fasciitis
• Heel or arch pain
• Ankle and foot stiffness
• Repetitive strain or overuse injuries
• Postural or mechanical imbalances affecting gait

This structured assessment → diagnosis → treatment → management process provides clarity and direction for managing your pain effectively.

Remedial Massage & Myotherapy for Foot Pain

Tight muscles through the calves, feet, and lower legs often contribute to ongoing foot pain and stiffness.

Remedial Massage and Myotherapy target these areas to help release tension, improve flexibility, and support normal function.

Your treatment may include:

• Deep-tissue and trigger-point therapy
• Myofascial release through the foot and lower leg
• Dry needling or cupping (if clinically appropriate)
• Calf and plantar fascia release to reduce load on the heel
• Gentle stretching and mobility work

Your therapist may also give you simple home exercises to improve strength and flexibility, as well as advice on footwear, load management, and gradual return to activity.

These approaches aim to:

• Improve tissue mobility and blood flow
• Ease muscular tension and discomfort
• Support recovery from plantar fasciitis or overuse strain
• Help prevent future recurrence through better function and load distribution
