WHAT IS PLANTAR FASCIITIS & ACHILLES TENDONITIS?
Foot pain can slow down your whole life.
Two of the most common causes are:
Plantar Fasciitis
Inflammation or irritation of the thick band of tissue on the bottom of your foot — usually causing sharp heel pain, especially with the first steps in the morning.
Achilles Tendonitis
Inflammation of the tendon that connects the calf muscle to the heel bone — often creating tightness, swelling, and pain along the back of the ankle.
Both conditions can make everyday movement feel difficult — from walking the dog to finishing a workout.
WHAT MAKES OUR THERAPY DIFFERENT
Asheville Medical Massage specializes in clinical massage focused on pain relief and functional recovery.
While many spas offer general relaxation massage, our medical massage experts:
-
Understand biomechanics and the root causes of foot pain
-
Address not only the painful tissue — but the entire kinetic chain (calf, ankle, hamstring, hips)
-
Integrate manual therapy techniques proven to reduce inflammation and restore mobility
-
Customize every treatment to how your body responds that day
We don’t just treat your symptoms —we help change the pattern that created them.
