(Translated by Google) I went with plantar fasciitis pain that I'd had for almost two months, which was preventing me from walking properly. Natalia, the therapist, evaluated me and gave me treatment for my foot and hip, along with some stretching exercises that I had to do twice a day. I left pain-free, and today I went to my second therapy without any pain. Natalia is very professional, as is the entire staff. Thank you for treating me so well and helping me with my pain. I recommend the place; you won't regret it. Thank you.

How Plantar Fasciitis Disrupts Life in Miami
From marathons to grocery store struggles: Your morning run at Shenandoah Park or errands at Brickell City Centre, now impossible when that stabbing heel pain makes every step feel like stepping on a nail.
Morning agony, every single day: "I was in pain all day long, but mornings was the worst." Those first steps out of bed feel like daggers in your heel, then your commute down SW 8th Street becomes torture as the burning pain radiates through your foot all day.
Every step triggers stabbing heel pain: Standing all day at Coral Way, walking Douglas Park, even sitting down and standing back up, the burning, aching pain follows you everywhere.
South Florida residents don't have to live this way.
Why Your Heel Pain Keeps Coming Back
Your calf, Achilles, and plantar fascia work as one connected chain. Orthotics support the arch. Cortisone reduces inflammation. Stretches target the foot. But none of them release the tight calf that's pulling on the fascia from above.
Plantar Fasciitis Relief at TheraMax
The good news: many clients find relief when the underlying tension is addressed. Years of standing, walking, or running can tighten your calf muscles, and they can pull on your plantar fascia like a rubber band stretched to breaking. Our robotic therapy is designed to release those deep fascial restrictions in your calf and Achilles with sustained, precise pressure human hands can't replicate, designed to break the tightening cycle that many clients say kept their pain coming back.
Clients often report they can:
Take their first morning steps without stabbing heel pain
Return to walking, hiking, or running without burning foot pain
Stand all day at work without pain building up

What Makes Our Approach Different
Swipe to compare treatment options
Orthotics & Inserts
Approach: Custom shoe inserts or splints
Timeframe: Daily use, ongoing cost
Effectiveness: Supports structure but doesn't release tight fascia
Orthotics provide passive support but don't release the tight fascia and calf muscles contributing to your pain.
Physical Therapy
Approach: Stretches, exercises, manual therapy
Timeframe: 8-12 weeks of sessions
Effectiveness: Builds strength and flexibility over time
Surface-level stretches can't reach the deep fascial adhesions contributing to your pain. The calf is dense and fibrous. Manual therapy struggles to sustain the pressure needed to work it effectively.
Cortisone Injections
Approach: Anti-inflammatory steroid shots into affected area
Timeframe: Relief lasts 2-4 months, repeated injections
Effectiveness: Temporary inflammation reduction, doesn't fix cause
Cortisone wears off in 3 months and the pain comes roaring back. Doesn't address the tight calf muscles contributing to the inflammation.
Understanding Plantar Fasciitis
It's not just morning pain - it's a cycle
Chronic tightness in your calf muscles and Achilles tendon pulls constantly on the plantar fascia (the thick band on the bottom of your foot). While you sleep, it tightens and shortens. When you stand up, it stretches suddenly, creating that stabbing heel pain. Many clients describe the same pattern after sitting; "if I sat down at lunch for 30 minutes, it would be agonizing when I stood up." And when the calf stays tight, it limits how far your ankle can flex - forcing more load onto the fascia with every step.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to your questions about robotic therapy
I stopped running at Matheson Hammock Park months ago and it still hasn't healed. Do I need to rest even more?
Rest alone rarely fixes plantar fasciitis. Many clients tell us they rested for months - even gave up activities they loved - and the pain stayed. That's because rest doesn't release the calf and Achilles tightness that may be pulling on the fascia. The tension just waits for you to start moving again.
Why does everyone focus on my heel when you're saying the problem is my calf?
Most treatments target where it hurts, the heel. But the calf, Achilles, and plantar fascia work as one connected chain. When the calf stays tight, it pulls tension down into the fascia. Many clients tell us they'd never had anyone work on their calf before coming here and were surprised how tight it was.
I've had this for 3 years and I work on my feet all day in Downtown Miami. At what point do I just accept this is my life now?
You don't have to. We've worked with clients who stood on their feet all day for years, even decades, before finding something that finally made a difference. Long-term cases often come with deep tension patterns that surface stretching and traditional manual therapy never touched. Many clients who'd completely given up tell us they wish they'd found this approach sooner.
My doctor mentioned surgery. Why should I try this?
Many clients come to us specifically because they want to explore every conservative option before surgery. They've read the same horror stories you have. Our robotic therapy is designed to work on the calf, Achilles, and foot tension patterns that clients often describe with plantar fascia pain, all without injections or invasive procedures. Many South Florida residents who were considering surgery tell us they're glad they tried this first. We always recommend discussing all options with your doctor.
My pain is more in my arch or ball of foot than my heel. Can you still help?
Yes. The plantar fascia connects to the intrinsic muscles in your arch and forefoot. When calf tightness pulls on the heel, it creates strain through the entire foot. Many clients come in thinking they have 'just heel pain' and are surprised when we find tension running all the way to the ball of their foot. We work the whole chain: the calf, Achilles, heel, and the small muscles through your arch.
