Our Becky representing at Public Sector Reception at 10 Downing Street today representing physiotherapy! What an honour and experience! It has made her very proud to be a physiotherapist 👏
I’ve teamed up with foot & ankle specialist @lizbayleyphysio to create 4 strengthening programmes for Plantar Heel Pain. 3 are based on Osborne et al. (2023) and 1 is our own ‘LiTHE’ programme. There’s lots to consider with these exercises which we’ll explore in this thread 🧵
