Everything about Foot complaints

Foot complaints can arise from overuse, trauma, surgery, or improper loading of the foot. Common complaints include heel pain and heel spurs, pain under the foot, pain in the forefoot, and complaints affecting the toes or big toe.

A common foot complaint is hielspoorThis causes pain on the underside of the foot, at the level of the heel. The pain may be present, for example, during walking, standing, or sports. FysioTherapy can help to gradually build up the load on the foot and reduce the symptoms.

Create a hallux valgus occurs frequently. In this condition, the big toe points towards the other toes, which can cause pain and irritation around the big toe. FysioTherapy can help improve the mobility and weight-bearing capacity of the foot. If the symptoms do not sufficiently decrease, surgery may be considered in some cases.

After a fracture of a metatarsal bone Physiotherapy can help in the event of foot surgery or an injury. We work on improving mobility, muscle strength, and load-bearing capacity so that the foot can bear weight properly again.

Especially for people with foot problems, we have foot care plans developed. A foot care plan is a personalized treatment plan in which the course of treatment is tailored to your complaints, capabilities, and goals. After performing various tests and completing questionnaires, we determine which care plan best suits your situation.

At Fysioplein We use specialized test and measurement instruments to map the function and load-bearing capacity of the foot. This allows us to measure the effects of the treatment and monitor progress during the treatment process. Based on the results, we can adjust the treatment where necessary.

Running analysis

During the gait analysis, your old shoes will be assessed. You have to walk up and down in front of the camera a few times to film and analyze your walking pattern. You then walk barefoot in front of the camera several times and, if necessary, in corrected shoes to judge the difference. The gait pattern is then assessed frame by frame to determine whether there is compensation from the feet, knees and/or hip/pelvis and appropriate shoe advice can be given.

Manual therapy

The aim of manual therapy is on the one hand to improve the functioning of the joints and on the other hand to improve your posture and movements. To this end, the manual therapist uses a number of specific techniques that can be applied in the joints.
