 If you struggle with heel pain or plantar fasciitis, you’re not alone — this is one of the most common causes of foot discomfort we see at Life in Balance Physical Therapy & Pilates in Normandy Park. Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue (the plantar fascia) that supports your arch becomes irritated or inflamed, often causing sharp pain with the first steps in the morning or after long periods of standing.
Our clinic offers Shockwave Therapy, an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses precise soundwave energy to stimulate natural healing in damaged tissues. Shockwave Therapy increases local blood flow, reduces inflammation, and promotes cell regeneration and collagen production—helping repair the plantar fascia at its source rather than just masking pain. Many patients begin to notice improvement within just a few sessions. Each treatment is quick, drug-free, and requires no injections or downtime. At Life in Balance PT & Pilates, our licensed physical therapists combine Shockwave Therapy with customized exercise programs, manual therapy, and movement retraining to address the root cause of your heel pain and prevent recurrence. If you’re looking for effective plantar fasciitis treatment in Normandy Park, near Burien and Des Moines, our team is here to help you move comfortably again—naturally. Get in touch!

It’s called Shockwave Therapy, and it’s now available at Life in Balance Physical Therapy & Pilates in Normandy Park, WA. Shockwave Therapy (also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy or ESWT) uses gentle sound waves to stimulate your body’s own healing process. Think of it like a “wake-up call” for injured tissue — increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and helping the body repair itself naturally. Sessions are non-invasive, take only about 10–15 minutes, and most patients need just 3–6 treatments to notice lasting improvement. Shockwave Therapy can help with many common conditions, including:
If you’ve tried traditional PT or other treatments, or just aren't healing as quickly as you'd like, this may be the missing link.
