We Treat the Root Cause of Your Plantar Fasciitis—Not Just the Symptoms
At VT Moms PT in Vergennes (just minutes from Middlebury), we don't believe in cookie-cutter treatments or telling you to wear orthotics for life. We dig deeper to understand why your plantar fasciitis developed in the first place—whether it's muscle imbalances, improper movement patterns, or postpartum changes—and create a personalized plan to eliminate pain for good.
✅ Comprehensive assessments that identify the true cause of your heel pain
✅ Hands-on treatment combined with targeted exercises you can do at home
✅ Long-term solutions so you can get back to running, hiking, and staying active without fear
"I started seeing Dr. Davida about 10 weeks after giving birth, to assist with pelvic floor issues, diastasis recti, foot pain (plantar fasciitis), hip and lower back pain. She did an incredibly comprehensive assessment to understand where my challenges are, what was causing them, and how to best address them. As someone who has been an athlete all my life prior to kids, it was great to get back into movement and helping my body rebuild correctly."
