Sesamoiditis is where there is inflammation and pain in sesamoid bones and surrounding soft tissues. Pain is felt under the big toe joint. Young active people are most commonly affected. While sesamoiditis pain can come and go it can cause great discomfort especially when walking. Physiotherapy treatment at Parramatta typically includes rest, ice application, and specific exercises to improve flexibility and strength in the foot. Manual therapy may be employed to enhance joint mobility, and patients are advised on proper footwear and possible use of orthotics to reduce stress on the affected area. Gradual return to activities is crucial, and a tailored rehabilitation program will support recovery.
