The right footwear makes a lot of difference.

→ Flat soles offer no support to distribute load away from the heel and arch.
→ A narrow toe box compresses the toes together, increasing pressure across the forefoot.
→ Without heel protection, the heel shifts around inside the shoe, adding strain to the Achilles and plantar fascia.

If you're dealing with heel pain, arch aches, or tired feet, your shoes are a good place to start.

Foot pain is one of the most self-diagnosed conditions we see (and one of the most commonly misdiagnosed).

Clients often think their heel pain is plantar fasciitis. But it could also be a fat pad issue, Achilles tendinopathy, or a stress response in the heel bone.
Each of those responds to different treatment.

A proper assessment at Prosper includes a detailed history, physical examination, and video gait analysis to capture exactly how load is moving through your foot in real time.
In some cases, diagnostic ultrasound gives us a live look at what's happening in the soft tissue beneath the surface.

Getting the diagnosis right is what makes the treatment work.

Ingrown toenails don't usually announce themselves. They creep up gradually.

Early signs to watch for:

- Tenderness along one or both edges of the nail
- Redness or slight swelling on the side of the toe
- Discomfort when putting on shoes or socks
- The area feels warm or sensitive to touch

At this stage, it's still straightforward to treat.
Leave it a few more weeks, and the skin becomes more inflamed, the nail digs deeper, and infection becomes a real risk.

If your toe has been niggling for more than a few days, get it looked at before it becomes something more serious.

Spinal pain that keeps returning usually has a cause that hasn't been properly addressed yet.

Muscle imbalances, poor joint mobility, and postural habits built up over years of desk work or physical labour don't resolve with rest alone. They need to be identified and worked on directly.

Our physio team in Colac assesses joint mobility, muscle control, posture, and nerve involvement to find what's actually driving your pain.
From there, treatment focuses on building the strength and control that keep it from coming back.

Here are two stretches that help relieve pain if you're on your feet all day.

Calf stretch: while leaning your hands against a wall, bend front knee and straighten back leg so that your heel touches the floor. Hold for 30 seconds each side. This targets the large calf muscle with the greatest influence on plantar fascia tension.

Plantar fascia stretch: seated, foot crossed over your knee, toes gently pulled back toward your shin. Best done before your first steps in the morning when the tissue is most loaded.

If your feet are consistently sore by the end of a shift, the cause is usually something specific (and fixable).

We've put together a practical guide covering why standing all day causes foot pain, and what actually helps.
