Struggling with Foot Pain but Not Sure Why? We Can Help.

Foot pain can be frustrating — especially when you don’t know what’s causing it. Whether your pain is sharp, dull, aching or just persistent, our team at Move4 Physiotherapy & Podiatry specialises in getting to the bottom of it.

We understand that not all foot pain comes with a clear diagnosis. That’s why we offer a comprehensive assessment approach, combining the skills of both physiotherapists and podiatrists to give you clarity, relief and a personalised plan.

What Is “Non-Specific” Foot Pain?

Non-specific foot pain simply means pain that isn’t clearly linked to a single identifiable structure like a tendon, joint or nerve. It might be:

• Pain that moves around or changes day to day
• Pain without a clear injury or trauma
• Discomfort that comes on gradually
• A general feeling of ache, fatigue or pressure in the foot
• Pain that affects how you walk, exercise or work

You may have been told “it’s nothing to worry about” — but persistent foot pain always deserves attention and understanding.

Possible Contributing Factors

Foot pain without a specific diagnosis can still have real, treatable causes. These might include:

• Muscle or joint imbalances
• Poor foot mechanics or posture
• Changes in walking or running patterns
• Unsupportive footwear
• Overuse or repetitive strain
• Reduced strength or mobility
• Compensation from previous injury
• Standing or walking on hard surfaces for long periods

Even generalised or vague pain has a reason. Our job is to find it — and help you fix it.

Our Approach at Move4

At Move4, we don’t rely on guesswork. Our combined physiotherapy and podiatry assessments allow us to look at your foot pain from every angle — so we can offer a solution that’s right for you.

---

Physiotherapy

Our physios assess:

• Foot, ankle and lower limb strength
• Muscle imbalances and movement control
• Walking or running biomechanics
• How your pain behaves with activity
• Compensations elsewhere in the body (e.g. knees, hips, back)

You’ll get a clear plan, including:

• Exercise-based rehab
• Hands-on treatment if needed
• Guidance on load management
• Education to help you understand your pain
• Strategies to build foot strength and confidence

---

Podiatry

Our podiatrist will assess:

• Your foot shape, arch height and alignment
• Pressure mapping and load distribution
• Walking or running gait
• Footwear choices and wear patterns

We may recommend:

• Custom or off-the-shelf insoles (orthotics)
• Footwear advice or modifications
• Offloading strategies for pain relief
• Simple changes that make big differences to comfort and performance

When Is It Time to Get Help?

If you’ve had foot pain for more than a few weeks — or if it keeps coming back — it’s worth getting checked.

Even if it’s not constant or severe, foot pain can affect:

• Work
• Exercise
• Sleep
• Daily confidence

And when left untreated, small issues can become bigger over time.

Who We Help

We regularly support:

• Runners and active individuals
• People working on their feet all day
• Those with long-term discomfort and no clear diagnosis
• Individuals with complex pain or previous injuries
• People seeking reassurance and a structured plan

You don’t have to have a clear label for your pain — just a willingness to improve, and we’ll do the rest.
