Lefort Podiatry provides myofascial pain relief to the local Forest Hill, Doveton, Blackburn, Burwood East & Vermont communities.
Myofascial pain is related to trigger points that are painful knots within a tight band of muscle. Pain frequently radiates from these points of local tenderness to broader areas, sometimes distant from the trigger point itself. Trigger points usually occur in muscles that have been overworked, often through overuse or due to abnormal foot posture.

Other problems may be related to the Achilles Tendon, calf muscle spasms / tightness or any other muscles below the knee.
