I'm wondering which professional to go see. A physiotherapist, a podiatrist...

Hello,

It is preferable to start with a physiotherapist who specializes in musculoskeletal problems like your heel problem. He will do a good evaluation to guide you on exercises and other solutions.

If you have just given birth, you may still have a problem with the strength of your pelvic muscles which can influence the nerve and give you a remote pain in your heel. Also you have changed your habits lately and this can influence the tension in the foot.

If you have pain during sexual intercourse, urinary discharge while jumping or laughing, I invite you to consult a physiotherapist specialized in perineal that could help you in the pelvis and maybe in the heel.

Does this answer your question?
