Tissue in your feet can become tight, inflamed, and/or painful on a daily basis, which can be caused by a number of factors. Normally affecting the heels of your feet, plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel/foot pain. Exercise surfaces, running, walking, workplace injuries, and perhaps even your shoes & footwear can precipitate plantar fasciitis. Are you having a difficult time walking around without pain? Be it in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or the borough of Queens (via neighborhoods such as Forest Hills, Rego Park, and Kew Gardens)?

From “scraping” – otherwise known as Graston (or “Gua Sha”) – to soft tissues release to mobility exercises, we are confident that our comprehensive treatment plans can help with your plantar fasciitis. To find out how you can benefit from these plantar fasciitis modalities and other therapies, call our office today to schedule an appointment – based right in Forest Hills (Queens, NY). Let us help you regain foot and lower extremity mobility, and return back to the activities you enjoy participating in (with less heel pain). Call us today and take restorative measures.

The shoulder joint itself is so complex and interconnected that when one thing goes awry, radiating pain (and other problems) can arise.
