How we approach it at Sone
This condition involves more than one of our units. As a wellbeing unit, our teams work together in the same process; you do not travel between different addresses.
Physiotherapy
Foot structure, gait and calf flexibility are assessed; plantar and calf stretching, intrinsic foot strengthening, manual therapy and footwear or insole advice.
Nutrition and Dietetics
Excess weight increases load on the foot; a dietitian joins when needed.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my heel hurt most with the first steps in the morning?
Overnight the plantar fascia, the band of tissue under the foot, shortens and tightens. The first steps stretch it suddenly, causing sharp heel pain that eases as you walk. This morning pattern is the classic sign of plantar fasciitis, often called heel spur, and is linked to prolonged standing, footwear and tight calf muscles.
Is a heel spur the same as plantar fasciitis?
Not exactly. A heel spur is a small bony growth seen on X-ray; plantar fasciitis is irritation of the tissue under the heel. Many people have a spur with no pain, and many have plantar fasciitis with no spur. The pain usually comes from the fascia, which is why treatment focuses on it rather than the bone.
How does physiotherapy treat plantar fasciitis?
Treatment combines calf and plantar fascia stretching, strengthening of the foot and calf muscles, hands-on techniques and advice on footwear and activity. Taping may reduce pain in the early phase. You are shown a short daily routine to do at home, since consistency matters more than any single clinic session.
Do I need insoles for heel pain?
Not always. Insoles can reduce load on the fascia temporarily and are sometimes recommended after assessment, especially if you stand for long hours. They work best alongside stretching and strengthening rather than instead of them. Supportive, well-cushioned shoes often give much of the same benefit on their own.
How long does plantar fasciitis take to heal with physiotherapy?
Most people improve within 6–12 weeks of consistent treatment and home exercise, though long-standing cases can take several months. Starting earlier shortens recovery. Physiotherapy for heel pain in Beylikdüzü begins with a full assessment of your foot, calf and walking pattern so the plan targets the actual cause.
