Foot Pain Treatment

We can effectively treat many causes of foot stiffness and pain, including plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, Achilles tendonitis, sports injuries, and osteoarthritis. We can also help with your recovery and rehabilitation from ankle sprains and stress fractures, by giving you targeted exercises and plyometrics to strengthen the foot and ankle muscles and strengthen the bones through progressive loading.

During your initial appointment, we'll ask you a range of questions and conduct a thorough physical assessment of the problem area. We'll explain the cause of your pain, and a treatment plan will be tailor-made for your diagnosis.

What our patients say

"Marianne is super knowledgable and was so helpful in ensuring that I had a speedy recovery from my shin splints. Could not recommend her more, she's amazing!" - Tilly W

Marianne helped me with a long standing ankle issue. She was great in diagnosing what was causing my ankle, gave me acupuncture to relieve the immediate pain and then gave me strength exercises. Took about 13 months to properly mend but the treatment was spot on and Marianne gave me confidence and practical advice to keep my recovery going. Highly recommended" - Paul W, Bath

"I highly recommend Marianne! I went in initially for my broken ankle, she worked with me over various different sessions to build strength and helped me get back into running with confidence" - Sally F, Trowbridge

"I have been suffering from a chronic Achilles injury for some time and have had many treatments and therapists look at it but nobody could find the cause of the problem until Marianne from The Recovery Lab took a look, she offered me the right treatment to ease it in the first instance and slowly introduced strength exercises to rehab it over a period of time and the results are astonishing, she checks in regularly and adjusts the rehab when the time is right. From thinking I'll never run again, to now looking forward to planning my next race in the future. Thanks Marianne." - Jack B, Bradford-on-Avon
