Let’s talk about feet! We keep hearing that people don’t think of massage therapy to address foot problems. At Body Fix Therapies in Sacramento, we treat foot pain all the time. Now you are probably wondering what type of food problems we can handle.

Anything you would go to a podiatrist for can also be addressed with orthopedic massage therapy. We can help with:

Supination
Pronation
Hi Arches
Low Arches
Rotation
Plantar Fasciitis – We see this ALL the time!
Hammer Toes

What Can’t Orthopedic Massage Therapy Fix?

We can’t get rid of bunions. These are built up bone callus, and we can’t massage away a bone callus. However, we can address what caused the bunion in the first place. So, if you have foot pain and have been to a podiatrist without it being resolved, or if you have uncomfortable orthotics or think you need orthotics or are experiencing any other kind of foot discomfort, we want you to give us a call.

Remember, we offer orthopedic massage. Orthopedic massage corrects a problem and helps stop chronic pain. We work directly with podiatrists and chiropractors (they can help with foot pain too, there are a lot of bones and tiny joints in your feet!) to help put a plan together to treat your foot pain.

Plantar fasciitis, the most common foot problem we see in our patients, is merely a symptom. It is inflammation in the tissue on the bottom of your foot. Something is causing it, often badly fitting shoes or an old injury that has become part of your gait. We can help you discover what is causing your plantar fasciitis so you can eliminate or reduce the source of your pain.

It Might Not Start In Your Feet

A lot of people don’t realize they have foot problems until they are experiencing pain in their lower back. When people come in for lower back pain, we often check their feet. If we don’t correct your feet problems, we can’t make your lower back pain go away. The same thing can occur in the knees, depending on how your body compensates for the feet problems you are experiencing.

Your feet are workhorses. They often don’t complain until things are drastically wrong. Many people love a wellness massage that includes their feet, but few people understand the benefits that corrective orthopedic massage can provide. If you have any questions about if orthopedic massage is right for your feet to give us a call at 916.488.4223

About the Author

Kym has been practicing massage therapy for 17 years. She graduated from the Northwest School of Massage in Seattle, Washington in 1996 and immediately went into medical massage therapy, treating auto accident injuries and working with physicians treating soft tissue dysfunctions. Throughout the years she has developed a unique technique that breaks the soft tissue holding patterns that develop from years of imbalance and cumulative minor injuries. She works to “reprogram” the muscles and connective tissue from the positions and habits that keep them out of balance and makes them prone to injury. She uses a combination of long, slow trigger point pressure, myofascial release, and range of motion techniques to retrain the body. This approach has both immediate and long term, long lasting effects. While her style is definitely therapeutic more people fall asleep during these sessions than during a Swedish massage.
