Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Hamilton

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Symptoms often include sharp pain under the heel, especially during the first few steps in the morning or after prolonged sitting. Physiotherapy can help reduce inflammation, improve flexibility, and restore normal foot function.

Ankle Sprain Rehabilitation in Hamilton

Ankle sprains can cause pain, swelling, instability, and difficulty walking. Without proper rehabilitation, ankle sprains may lead to recurring injuries and chronic instability. Physiotherapy helps restore strength, balance, and confidence in your movement.

Achilles Tendonitis Treatment in Hamilton

Achilles tendonitis commonly affects runners and active individuals, causing pain and stiffness at the back of the ankle. Physiotherapy can help reduce pain, improve tendon health, and support a safe return to activity.
