FOOT PAIN MASSAGE IN HOLLAND
Is foot pain making every step a struggle? If you dread those first few steps out of bed in the morning or feel a sharp, stabbing pain in your heel after standing, you likely know the frustration of Plantar Fasciitis. At Massage Sci, I provide evidence-informed massage therapy that goes beyond the foot to address the regional causes of your discomfort and get you back to your active West Michigan lifestyle.
why choose Massage Sci?
Plantar Fasciitis and foot pain is rarely just a "foot problem." It is often a symptom of tension and restriction further up the leg. I look at how your movement patterns, footwear, and daily habits contribute to your pain.
I provide evidence-informed massage and specialize in chronic or persistent pain, with a biopsychosocial lens. The techniques I use are often called sports or medical massage. I use a strategic and methodical approach over brute force -- no one with pain should leave with more of it. I may also provide recommendations for at-home care.
common conditions
Whether the pain just started, or has been with you for years, or for as long as your can remember. You're not alone. Many of my clients from Holland, Zeeland, and surrounding West Michigan come in seeking relief from:
"first-step" pain: Intense sharp pain that subsides slightly as you move.
post-exercise flare-ups: Pain after you stop rather than during an activity.
tension from long hours: Relief for those who spend all day on their feet at work, at home, or on the trails.
restricted ankle mobility: Working to restore the "dorsiflexion" (upward movement) that often decreases with long-time chronic foot pain.
post-surgery or post-injury: Helping to relax tense muscles that are in "protect mode" can assist in your recovery and help restore greater range of motion.
