Foot Pain
Foot pain can make everyday activities such as walking, running, standing for long periods or exercising uncomfortable. Whether your pain has developed gradually or started following an injury, it’s important to identify the underlying cause rather than simply treating the symptoms.
At Elite Performance Therapy, every appointment begins with a thorough assessment to understand the cause of your foot pain before recommending the most appropriate treatment. Our aim is to reduce pain, improve movement and help you return to your normal activities as quickly and safely as possible.
What Causes Foot Pain?
Foot pain can have many different causes. It may develop following an injury, overuse, repetitive movements or changes in activity levels. Common causes include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon problems, tendon irritation, arthritis, stress fractures and biomechanical issues such as flat feet or high arches.
A thorough assessment helps identify the likely cause of your symptoms so treatment can be tailored to your individual needs rather than simply focusing on the area where you feel pain.
How We Can Help
At Elite Performance Therapy, every treatment begins with a thorough assessment to understand what’s causing your foot pain.
Treatment may include sports massage, remedial therapy, soft tissue techniques, stretching, mobility work and a personalised rehabilitation programme designed specifically for you. Where appropriate, medical acupuncture (dry needling) may also be used to help reduce muscle tension and relieve pain.
Our goal isn’t simply to ease your symptoms. We want to improve the way your foot moves, reduce the likelihood of your pain returning and help you get back to doing the things you enjoy.
Keeping Your Feet Healthy
Small changes often make a big difference. Wearing supportive footwear, improving strength and mobility, maintaining flexibility and progressing activity gradually can all help reduce the risk of foot pain returning.
Understanding the cause of your symptoms is just as important as treating them, which is why we always combine hands-on treatment with practical advice and rehabilitation where appropriate.
We’ll also give you simple exercises and advice that you can continue at home, along with recommendations for ongoing treatment if needed to help keep your feet strong and moving comfortably.
Don’t Let Foot Pain Hold You Back
If foot pain is affecting your work, sport or everyday life, we’re here to help. Early assessment and treatment can often prevent a small problem from becoming a long-term issue.

What our clients say:
“Went to Elite performance unable to walk with a sudden attack of “Plantar Fascia” (no I didn’t know what it was either) a VERY sore heel. The first sign of real pain I called my sister in law, who is a Chiropractic nurse in the UK, she told me to “find the best sports massage centre quickly” the next day I did a google search and was pointed in the direction of Elite Performance in Mijas. Thanks to the help of Izabelle, I am now back on my feet as good as new. I would advise a visit with any odd aches or strains. Thanks so much Isy and the Elite Performance team.”
