Physio/Podiatry for Plantar Fascitis in Northampton

Support for Plantar Fascitis

Sharp heel pain slowing you down?

That first-step-in-the-morning pain… the ache that creeps in after standing too long… the stabbing discomfort in your heel after a run? You’re likely dealing with plantar fasciitis—and you’re not alone.

At Move4 Physio, our specialist sports podiatrist helps people of all activity levels overcome plantar fasciitis with a plan that’s personalised, proven, and built around your goals.


What is plantar fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It’s an irritation of the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot. When overloaded, this tissue becomes inflamed and painful.

Typical symptoms include:

  • Sharp pain in the heel or arch (often worse in the morning)

  • Pain that eases with movement but returns after rest

  • Discomfort after standing, walking, or running

  • Tenderness under the heel bone

  • Tightness in the calf or Achilles


How our podiatrist can help

Plantar fasciitis is often a load management problem—meaning how your feet absorb and distribute stress during daily activity. At Move4 Physio, we don’t just mask symptoms. We identify why your plantar fascia is under strain and build a plan to fix it.

Your treatment may include:


✅ Biomechanical and gait assessment
✅ Footwear and insole advice
✅ Custom orthotics for arch support and load relief
✅ Calf and plantar fascia mobility and strengthening exercises
✅ Activity modification and return-to-running plans
✅ Shockwave therapy (if indicated)
✅ Collaborative care with our physio team for rehab and strength work

Whether your goal is to get back to running, work without pain, or enjoy long walks again—we’ll help you take those steps, literally.


Why see a podiatrist for heel pain?

Podiatrists are foot and lower limb specialists. We assess the mechanics, structure, and function of your feet in motion—providing insights and solutions that go beyond generic advice. Our approach combines hands-on care, movement science, and modern rehab strategies.

Easy to book an appointment and the website had lots of useful information. It was helpful to be able to complete the assessment form beforehand as I was able to really detail the difficulties I have been having. Frances, who I saw was very friendly and encouraging. The excercises she advised for my difficulties have literally changed my life- I have been wfh since lockdown predominantly and sitting for long hours has had a detrimental effect on my back. I put helpseeking off for so long but couldn't any longer. I'm glad I took the risk as Frances instantly alleviated all my worries when I met her. Would highly recommend. Don't put it off like me!

Had a brilliant experience today with Lee. I was assessed then he addressed some of the issues with daily homework to do with multiple exercises. Hands down Move 4 was head and shoulders above Three Shires!! I didnt get any of the above on my first visit with them unfortunately.

Second appointment with Lee for a niggling knee issue preventing longer run training. He is very thorough and patient, ensuring no stone is unturned in getting to the bottom of the issue and putting a plan in place to resolve it long term, strengthen the glutes and free off the hip flexors! Lots of challenging exercises to work on, but already I can feel the difference. Can’t recommend him enough, brilliant. Thank you!!
