Chesham Bois, Amersham, Buckinghamshire
    Non-invasive spinal therapy

    Foot pain

    Foot pain — whether in the heel, arch, or ankle — is not always caused by something local to the foot. The way you stand, walk, and how your spine and pelvis are aligned all affect the distribution of load through the feet. Compensatory patterns from a hip, knee, or back problem often end up expressing themselves as foot pain over time. Virginia takes a whole-body view, assessing your posture and movement patterns to identify whether spinal alignment is contributing.

    What you might notice

    • Pain in the heel or arch, particularly in the morning
    • Discomfort or fatigue when walking or standing
    • Altered gait — rolling in or out on one side
    • Calf or ankle tightness linked to foot pain
    • Foot pain that varies with posture or back position

    How Virginia can help

    • ASMI addresses spinal and pelvic alignment that affects lower limb loading
    • Reduces compensatory patterns that transfer load unevenly through the feet
    • A whole-body perspective that looks beyond the foot itself
    • Works alongside podiatry or orthotics if you already have these in place
    • Practical advice on posture and movement patterns between sessions

    Frequently asked questions

    I've been told I have plantar fasciitis. Can spinal therapy help?
    Plantar fasciitis can have a postural and spinal component — particularly if the calf and lower limb are loaded unevenly due to pelvic or spinal imbalance. Virginia will assess whether spinal alignment is contributing and treat accordingly. She would also recommend you see a podiatrist for the local foot management.
    Should I also see a podiatrist?
    If you haven't already, yes — a podiatrist is the best person to assess and treat the local foot problem. Virginia's work is complementary: addressing the bigger picture of how your body loads your feet.
    Can an old ankle injury cause back pain, or vice versa?
    Absolutely. Old ankle or foot injuries often cause lasting changes in how you walk, which gradually puts stress on the knee, hip, and lower back. Virginia can assess this chain of compensation and work to reduce its effects.
