What is the treatment for pain on the outside of the foot?
At the FasciaClinics, we analyze the whole body to see where the compensations and misalignments are and how they have spread. Fascia treatment for pain on the outside of the foot involves balancing the body to even out the load on the feet. More even loading thus reduces the risk of overexertion. The entire pelvis is corrected and the spine and legs are balanced and relieved. The treatment is done both manually and mechanically with gentle vibrations. The vibration removes congestion in the fascia and starts its flow so that the cells can more easily absorb substances. This improves the body’s own ability to heal itself. The treatment does not hurt and is often experienced as very pleasant.
