Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common conditions we treat at Activ Therapy. Understanding the underlying cause is the first step towards lasting relief. Our practitioners take the time to properly assess your condition before beginning any treatment — because the right diagnosis leads to the right treatment.

We address the underlying biomechanical factors to prevent recurrence.
With consistent treatment and compliance with home exercises, most patients achieve significant relief within 6–8 weeks. Chronic plantar fasciitis (>6 months) may take 3–6 months of structured rehabilitation.
