Our podiatrists may use a combination of soft tissue mobilisation, myofascial release and other remedial massage techniques to treat tightness within the muscles and relieve pain. These techniques aim to:

• Relax tense muscles
• Improve blood and lymphatic circulation
• Improve flexibility and joint mobility
• Stimulate nerve receptors, relieving pain.

There are a number lower leg conditions that may benefit from using mobilization and fascial release techniques. Some of the common conditions that will benefit include:

• Plantar fasciitis
• Heel Pain, especially Achilles tendinosis
• Shin Splints
• Arthritis of the small joints of the foot and ankle
