If you choose to do physiotherapy for you treatment option, then The Health First Group has 3 physiotherapy clinics: Mississauga Millcreek, Mississauga Heartland, Milton, and Etobicoke. During your physio sessions you will learn about the various exercises which will help alleviate your pain. A physiotherapist will guide you through exercises allowing for you to both stretch and strengthen your plantar fascia, achilles tendon, and lower leg muscles. All of this will contribute to the reduction or elimination of pain. Moreover, for severe cases your physiotherapist may utilize massage contrast baths or ultrasonography to help with long term relief.
