Plantar fasciitis - it's that sharp discomfort in your heel or along the sole of your foot that greets you every morning when you take those first few steps out of bed. Whether you're a dedicated runner, a busy parent on your feet all day, or simply someone who enjoys long walks, plantar fasciitis can put a damper on your daily activities. Understanding this condition and knowing how to manage it effectively can make all the difference.

If you've ever experienced that sharp, stabbing pain along the front of your lower legs during exercise, chances are you're familiar with the common overuse injury known as 'shin splints'. Understanding the nature of this injury and how to manage it can be the key to alleviating pain and getting back on track with your fitness goals.

Should I see a golf physio?

Are you a golfer? Ask yourself the following question to see if a golf physio could help you:

1.    Does my golf swing cause me pain or injury?

2.    Do I feel like I physically cant achieve what my golf coach wants me to do?

3.    Do I want to perform better on the course, hit it longer and more consistently?

4.    Do I want to play quality golf for longer and improve my longevity?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then a golf physio is a great option for you.
