Do you need relief for your heel pain and live in Geelong, Torquay or Ocean Grove?

Heel pain is a generic term used for a variety of conditions affecting the heel, such as plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and Achilles tendonitis and is one of the most common injuries to the foot that stance podiatry diagnoses and treat.

Causes of heel pain can be attributed to (but not limited to):

• Unsupportive footwear
