Advice please - Wikipedia reference-linkPlantar fasciitis in south London

Hi all. I was hoping to get some advice from you. Ive had plantar fasciitis for around 6 months now in both feet, although the left is worse. Although it is more of a niggling pain now, and im quite comfortable walking moderate distances im not yet running again, the plantar fascia of my left foot in particular is still quite tender around the area where the arch should be (I don’t have much of one as im flat footed).

It was caused by running and being flat footed (I think).

I have the custom orthotics and im doing the massage, ice bath stretching and strengthening excercises most days but I need to get rid of it asap as im due to start a new job that involves lots of running and time on feet quite soon.

I went to a general physiotherpaist for around 2 months which seemed to help somewhat, but then I went away for a few months.

Now im on my way back to London I was wondering if anyone knows of a (lower limb/plantar fasciitis) specialist preferably south, or failing that central London. Is it worth trying to find someone who specialises? My last physio sessions involved massage and ultrasound is there any other treatments that a physio can offer?

Also what do you think about the hydro cortisone shots or Extracorporeal shock wave therapy?

Any advice greatly appreciated. Apologies if i got the lingo wrong
