5 Simple Steps for Plantar Fasciitis Recovery
The Recovery Strategy™
Injury Recovery and Pain Prevention - From the Feet Up
The Recovery Strategy™ helps you restore foot function, reduce pain, and improve movement efficiency—without insoles, restrictive footwear, or temporary fixes.
✔️ Pain relief that lasts without relying on orthotics or surgery.
✔️ Restore natural foot function for better balance, posture, and movement.
✔️ Reduce recurring injuries and improve joint stability.
✔️ Simple, structured exercises designed for all levels.
Why Most Solutions Don’t Work—And What Makes This Different
Most people who experience foot pain try insoles, special shoes, massage, or even rest, yet the pain keeps coming back. That’s because these are temporary fixes that don’t address the root cause.
Hi, I’m Nikki
I am The Body Mechanics Coach
I have a feet first approach to Injury Recovery and Pain Prevention.
I specialise in plantar fasciitis, foot dysfunction and how our feet effect our whole-body mechanics.
I am qualified in Pilates, Corrective Exercise, Barefoot Training, Reflexology and Sports Massage, and as a Biomechanics Coach
The Recovery Strategy™ takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of masking symptoms, I focus on:
Strength
Building foot and pelvis strength so your body supports itself naturally.
Alignment
Restoring natural mechanics to prevent future issues.
Stability
Increasing stability improves balance and reduces injuries.
This is not about quick fixes. It’s about lasting recovery and better movement for life.
The Recovery Strategy™ is designed for individuals who experience persistent pain, movement limitations, or recurring injuries.
Whether you are an athlete, an active professional, or someone looking for long-term relief, this approach provides a structured, effective solution.
Common Conditions and How This Helps
- Plantar Fasciitis and Foot Dysfunction→ Wake up in the morning and take your first steps without sharp heel pain.
- Running-Related Overuse Injuries→ Train consistently without being sidelined by knee or shin pain.
- Balance, Posture, and Joint Stability Issues→ Feel steady on your feet, improve posture, and reduce lower back discomfort.
- Bunions, Flat Feet, and Weak Arches→ Strengthen your feet naturally instead of relying on restrictive shoes.
- Strength and Mobility for Active Lifestyles→ Enjoy hiking, fitness classes, weight training, or long walks without discomfort.
The Recovery Process: A Four-Step Approach
The Recovery Strategy™ follows a proven system to restore foot function and movement efficiency:
Release – Alleviate tension and soothe pain symptoms. → Experience relief from tightness and discomfort that builds up over the day.
Strengthen – Develop intrinsic foot strength for improved stability. → Walk, run, and exercise without feeling like your feet are collapsing or aching.
Lengthen – Improve mobility and flexibility in the foot and ankle. → Move freely without stiffness or restriction in your lower legs.
Stabilise – Enhance balance and posture by integrating foot mechanics into full-body movement. → Feel grounded and steady in daily movements, reducing the risk of trips and falls.
Real Clients, Real Results
"I struggled with plantar fasciitis for years. Insoles and rest didn’t help, but after working with Nikki, I finally found lasting relief. I can walk pain-free again."
M Robinson
"After years of running injuries, I thought I’d have to give up my sport. This program helped me address the root cause, and I’ve been injury-free ever since."
D Morgan
"I used to get lower back pain after standing for long periods. Once I started working on my foot strength, my posture improved, and the pain disappeared."
G Perrett
The Recovery Strategy™ is the system I wish I had when I was struggling. It’s designed to give you back control over your movement and your life.
Many people struggling with foot pain feel frustrated, searching for solutions that don’t seem to work. I’ve been there too.
For years, I battled foot pain, trying everything, nothing provided long-term relief.
Then I completed a CPD course about pelvic floor dysfunction, and they had a foot first appoach to reducing pelvic floor problems.
I realised that all my foot issues and back pain stemmed from MY foot dysfunction.
Which as an experienced Pilates Instructor was slightly embarrassing - but foot training wasn't included in ANY of my fitness qualifications including my pilates diploma.
Once I focused on strengthening, stabilising, and restoring proper function, the pain finally vanished and it hasn't come back - I escaped the recurring cycle of pain. I can help you too.
With nearly 30 years of experience in health and fitness, I specialise in helping my clients recover injury and pain prevention, with a foot first approach.
This methodology is grounded in:
Body Mechanics and Movement Science
Addressing dysfunction at its source.
Corrective Exercise Principles
Enhancing resilience and injury prevention.
Proven Recovery Methods
Helping clients regain long-term mobility and pain relief.
