At Maccio Physical Therapy in Troy, NY, we specialize in identifying the root cause of pain and delivering personalized treatment plans that get real results—just like we did for Marybeth.
The Struggle with Persistent Foot Pain
Marybeth first sought help for intense pain in her foot, which was diagnosed as plantar fasciitis. After two months of following the standard protocol without relief, she decided to explore physical therapy at Maccio Physical Therapy in Troy, NY. Like many patients, Marybeth discovered that the source of her pain wasn’t what she expected.
A Surprising Diagnosis: The Pain Came from Her Back
During her initial evaluation at Maccio Physical Therapy, our team conducted thorough assessments to pinpoint the true cause of Marybeth’s discomfort. Through a series of tests, we determined that her foot pain wasn’t originating from her foot at all—it was linked to an issue in her back. This revelation was a game-changer for her treatment plan.
Customized Treatment Using the McKenzie Method®
Once we identified the source of the foot pain, we crafted a targeted treatment plan for Marybeth. As certified specialists in the McKenzie Method® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), we utilized this evidence-based approach to address her unique condition. Over the course of four weeks, Marybeth engaged in specialized back and foot exercises designed to improve mobility, strength, and alignment. By focusing on self-management strategies and empowering her with tools to maintain her progress, Marybeth began to experience significant relief.
Walking Pain-Free Again
After just one month of treatment, Marybeth’s foot pain was completely gone. She could walk comfortably and stand for long periods without discomfort—a life-changing improvement for someone who had been struggling for months. Marybeth credits her recovery to the expertise and care she received at Maccio Physical Therapy:
“I came to physical therapy for pain in my foot so-called Plantar Fasciitis. Two months of normal foot doctor protocol did not work so we decided to try PT after multiple tests it was determined foot pain came from my back. After 4 weeks of back and foot exercises, pain is gone in my foot and I can walk again and stand for long periods. Thanks for the help!” – Marybeth R.
