When Karen got back from her overseas trip, something wasn't right with her right foot. A dull, achy pain had settled along the inside of her arch, and it wasn't going away. "I couldn't walk comfortably for any distance," Karen says.
Then came the moment that really got her attention. Karen had bought a new, expensive pair of shoes, and when she tried to wear them, the pain was excruciating, possibly with a little swelling at the time. On a friend's recommendation, she came to see us at Corrective Foot Solutions.
Inner arch pain is very common. The arch is a moving structure, and when the joints and muscles of the foot aren't working well together, the tissues along the inside take more strain. Long flights, lots of walking while travelling and new, stiff footwear all add load.
We looked at how Karen's whole foot was moving, with hands-on Foot Mobilisation Therapy and advice to support her recovery.
Her arch pain has resolved, she's walking comfortably, and she's wearing those new shoes without trouble.
