On Your Feet All Day – But Struggling with Pain?
Foot pain, arch discomfort or stabbing heel pain can affect everything from work and exercise to sleep. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, often linked to overuse, biomechanics, or poor support. Glenn Strutt provides personalised Osteopathy sessions to support mobility, reduce load, and improve foot mechanics.
Appointments are available at our Cannon Hill Clinic.
How Glenn Strutt Supports Foot Pain and Heel Discomfort
Glenn takes a full-body approach to foot pain. He examines the foot structure, ankle motion, leg alignment and even hip control to understand what’s driving your symptoms.
Hands-on care is used to release tight structures, mobilise restricted joints and adjust biomechanics. He’ll also provide activity and footwear advice as part of a practical Wellness Plan tailored to your foot function and day-to-day needs.
Key Takeaways – Osteopathy for Plantar Fasciitis and Foot Pain
- Appointments with Glenn available in Cannon Hill
- Sessions focus on mobility, alignment, and reducing mechanical strain
- Manual techniques target the plantar fascia, ankle and lower limb

What to Expect from Your Appointment
Your first session includes a detailed look at your foot mechanics, weight-bearing posture, and lower limb alignment. Glenn will assess not just your heel or arch, but how your entire lower body is moving and compensating.
Your session may include:
- Foot and ankle joint mobilisation

The goal is to help you feel more supported and capable when you’re on your feet.
Common Issues Glenn Works With
Patients often book sessions for:
- Painful first steps in the morning
- Ongoing heel pain when walking or standing
- Foot arch discomfort after activity
- Calf and ankle tightness affecting gait
- Load-related pain from standing work or sports
- Previous foot injuries or poor footwear history
Many of these issues are linked to how the body manages load and posture over time.
