Whether from long periods of standing, athletic endeavours, improper footwear, or even genetic factors, pain in the foot, ankle, or leg can be debilitating and affect daily life. These areas, fundamental for mobility, are susceptible to various conditions and injuries.

Our mission at Hardiman Performance is to diagnose the root of your discomfort, provide tailored solutions, and guide you towards optimal recovery.

PLANTAR FASCIA PAIN

One of the leading causes of heel pain, plantar fasciitis involves inflammation of the thick band of tissue that runs under the foot, connecting the heel bone to the toes. Symptoms include stabbing pain, particularly during the first steps in the morning.

Factors like obesity, prolonged standing, or high arches can increase the risk. If you’re experiencing consistent heel pain, especially upon waking, consult our team for an assessment and treatment plan.

ACHILLES TENDINOPATHY

This condition is characterized by pain along the back of the leg, just above the heel, due to the inflammation of the Achilles tendon. Overuse, especially in runners who have suddenly increased the intensity or duration of their runs, is a common culprit.

Symptoms can range from a mild ache to severe pain after prolonged activity. Early intervention can help prevent the risk of rupture. Reach out to our experts for guidance and potential treatment strategies.

SHIN SPLINTS

Often seen in runners, dancers, and military personnel, shin splints cause pain along the inner edge of the shinbone. This discomfort arises from overuse and repetitive stress, particularly if there’s a sudden shift in physical activity levels.

If you notice tenderness, soreness, or swelling in the lower leg, it might be shin splints. Our team can provide diagnostic clarity and suggest measures to alleviate the pain and prevent recurrence.
