If your feet hurt every morning or every time you walk, you’re not alone.

Foot and ankle pain affects thousands of people in Adelaide each year. 

Common problems like plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, bunions, and Achilles tendon pain can make life hard — especially when the pain doesn’t go away with rest, massage, or even orthotics.

At Physio Physique in Allenby Gardens, we use a unique approach called Structural Physiotherapy to treat the real cause of the pain, not just the symptoms.

What is structural physiotherapy?

It’s not your typical “rub and stretch” physio.

Structural Physiotherapy focuses on how the bones, muscles, joints, and nerves all work together. When one part is out of balance, it can cause chronic pain, tightness, or stiffness — especially in the feet and lower legs.

Instead of just treating the painful spot, we look at the whole structure of your body and fix the imbalances causing the problem starting from the feet up.

conditions we commonly treat

  • Plantar Fasciitis – stabbing heel pain, worse in the morning

  • Heel Spurs – bony lumps under the heel, sharp with pressure
  • Achilles Tendon Pain – tightness or swelling behind the ankle

  • Bunions – pain on the side of the big toe joint

  • Foot and arch pain – from long standing, walking, or poor shoes

These issues often come from misalignment and imbalances in the feet and can have a big impact higher up e.g knees, hips and spine.

how we treat these conditions

At Physio Physique, your treatment may include:

  • Postural analysis – checking your whole body for imbalances

  • Joint and nerve testing – seeing how your spine, hips and feet connect

  • Joint Mobilisation Therapy (JMT) – not just massage, but releasing tight spots, freeing up joints, and improving movement

  • Corrective home exercises – designed for long-term results

Most patients feel noticeable relief within the first few sessions.
