On average a person takes 7,500 steps a day! And with each step, your foot absorbs between two and three times your body weight in force! It is not surprising then that one of the most commonly injured areas of the body is the feet with three out of four individuals experiencing foot problems in their lifetime.

A thorough history and assessment by our physiotherapists here at Tomas Ryan Physiotherapy Clinic will help to identify the root cause of your foot pain. The first thing we consider is where the pain is located.

Foot pain can be brought on by trauma, overuse, or illnesses that involve any of the bones, ligaments, or tendons of the foot and produce inflammation. Common areas that can become painful are the achilles tendon, plantar fascia, the big toe, the central forefoot, the mid arch and the heel.
