How we found the root cause of heel pain for Laura and how she went from hobbling to hiking hill and fell
Heel pain was stopping Laura from enjoying familiy activties and outdoor walking. She’d tried the usual rolling a cold can, calf stretches, orthotic insoles and advice she found on the internet. Working together, we explored Laura’s physical background to find the root cause of her heel pain. Over 4 treatment sessions, Laura was guided to understand, make connectsions and ultimatley find her own solutions. She was soon back out walking and enjoying the great outdoors with her family.
Here’s what Laura had to say:
“Nick helped me understand the root cause of my heel pain, where the pain was coming from and what I needed to do. At eash session, Nick guided me to explore simple movements and exercise and question external influences that could help or hinder the pain.”
Incidently we encountered other long-term problems which appeared to detour away from the heel pain. Initially these problems seemed unconnected and therefore not relevant. However it soon became apparent that these niggles were actually linked. Therefore we worked together to find solutions to deal with these issues, resulting in more long-term gain.
From exploring the root cause to finding the route to recovery
“This process was different in that I was guided to find and understand the root cause of my heel pain. This would have been something I would never have done without Nick’s help. With this knowledge, I was able to measure my progress and enjoy weekly success and improvement. Nick was then able to weave my feedback into each session and push my recovery further.
It was a steep learning curve, but the results have been much more sustainable and have given me a much better quality of life.”
