Collapsed or Fallen Arches (Flat Feet)
Your foot's natural arch plays a vital role in walking, running, and posture. When tendons no longer support this arch, it flattens, leading to pain and fatigue.
Common causes:
-
Stretched or torn tendons
-
Structural irregularities from birth
-
Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction
-
Pregnancy, ageing, or obesity
-
Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or nerve damage
Symptoms to watch for:
-
Tired feet after short walks
-
Pain in the arch, heel, or lower leg
-
Swelling along the inner foot
-
Difficulty standing on tiptoes
How physiotherapy can help:
We use strengthening techniques for the lower leg and foot, combined with support strategies like orthotics, shoe inserts, or taping, to improve your foot biomechanics and reduce discomfort.
If you’re looking for an effective foot pain treatment in Southampton, we offer a range of treatments and a wealth of advice.
What We Treat - From Heels to Toes
Heel Spurs
Heel spurs are calcium deposits that form bony protrusions on the heel bone. Often painless themselves, they can cause significant pain through inflammation in surrounding tissues.
Potential causes:
-
Overuse or strain of foot muscles
-
Tight plantar fascia
-
Ill-fitting shoes
-
Obesity or diabetes
Symptoms:
-
Sharp, pin-prick heel pain when standing
-
Aching discomfort during the day
-
Localised inflammation
Physiotherapy solutions:
We use ultrasound therapy and taping techniques to reduce inflammation and support healing. Our expert therapists will also prescribe exercises to strengthen your foot and improve biomechanics.
Plantar Fasciitis
This is one of the most common causes of heel pain, caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia - the fibrous band supporting the foot arch.
Causes include:
-
High arches or flat feet
-
Walking or standing on hard surfaces
-
Poor footwear
-
Age-related degeneration
-
Tight calves or Achilles tendons
Recognisable symptoms:
-
Pain upon getting up in the morning
-
Reduced pain with movement, returning later in the day
-
Discomfort when climbing stairs or standing for long periods
Treatment approach:
We offer manual therapy, ultrasound, and protective taping to relieve pain. You'll also be guided through personalised stretching and strengthening exercises to speed recovery and prevent recurrence.
Ankle Sprains & Strains
Ankle injuries can happen during sport, work, or everyday activity. Whether you're dealing with a torn ligament (sprain) or overstretched muscle (strain), early treatment is essential.
Symptoms of sprains:
-
A ‘pop’ or tearing sensation at the time of injury
-
Swelling, bruising, and redness
-
Instability in the joint
Symptoms of strains:
-
Localised sharp pain
-
Cramping and muscle spasms
-
Stiffness or weakness
Rehabilitation with us:
Your physiotherapist will assess the injury, reduce swelling, and guide you through a graded strengthening and re-training programme. Our goal is to get you safely back to sport or work, stronger than before.

What is the best treatment for plantar fasciitis?
A combination of stretching, strengthening, ultrasound therapy, and protective taping has been shown to be highly effective. We also provide ergonomic advice and footwear support as needed.
Should I rest or move with a heel spur?
While rest can ease immediate discomfort, guided movement and physiotherapy are essential to prevent stiffness and maintain circulation. We’ll help you strike the right balance.
Can flat feet be fixed with exercise?
In many cases, yes. Targeted strengthening and muscle retraining can support arch function, relieve pain, and improve posture. Your physiotherapist will design a plan tailored to your feet.
