🦶🦶Feet that are in pain are quite a problem. 🤔Getting diagnosed as to what is going on can be an even bigger problem. Common diagnoses include Plantar Fasciitis, tendinitis, 'fallen arches/fat feet', OA toes and associated deformities. We can offer you a free assessment to give you a diagnosis to work with. Then you will know what to do about your problem foot/feet/toes. Today in clinic we diagnosed osteoarthritis of the MCP joint of the big toe👩‍🔬. This is a big problem as ...you get pain everytime you 'push off' with that foot to propel yourself forward. "What did a Physio do about that", I hear you say! Well we taped the foot and big toe to enable pain free walking. This will take some of the pressure off the joint but also allow the joint to 'settle', by giving it 'relative rest'. 👟🥾👡Your choice of shoe can also make a massive difference to your pain. Today we recommended this client to look at the Fitflop brand. Their original 'micro wobble board' sole technology could be a good starting place in helping 'take the pressure off' the big toe. 💥Not all of their footwear have the same type of sole so make sure you check out their 'Find your Fit' link at the bottom of their 1st page and be sure to measure your feet (as it is common for you to change shoe size with age ect..)
