Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel and arch pain, often felt as a sharp sting with the first steps in the morning or after periods of rest. It develops when the band of tissue connecting the heel to the toes becomes irritated from overuse, tight calf muscles, or repetitive strain. At Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Center of Brooklyn, we build a treatment plan around your specific pattern of pain and daily activity demands.

How We Approach Treatment

Manual Therapy — hands-on techniques to release tightness in the foot, ankle, and calf that contribute to strain on the plantar fascia.
Exercise Therapy — targeted stretching and strengthening to improve flexibility and support the arch over time.
Orthotics Fitting — supportive inserts to reduce stress on the heel and improve alignment during walking and standing.
