Brief Summary

A randomized control study on population with plantar fasciitis. Heel pain is affecting around 10-15% of total population. Mostly alters the persons with sedentary lifestyle and also affects athletes. Different types of intervention plasma rich therapy, extracorporeal shock wave therapy, corticosteroids, surgical procedure and physiotherapy for management of plantar fasciitis. Surgical intervention results in complications and researches don’t show any firm results. Manual therapy can be an effective method in treating plantar fasciitis. So this study was planned to evaluate the efficacy of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization in patients with plantar fasciitis. Subjects will be screened for plantar fasciitis using inclusion criteria. Informed consent will be taken for participation in study. Participants will be allocated in two groups. Treatment protocol for group A – Warm up(10-12 min);IASTM,done at 30-60 degrees angle for 40-120 seconds; Stretching 3 repetitions for 30 seconds; Strengthening, high repetitions low dose exercises; Cryotherapy, 10-20 minutes. Treatment protocol for group B – Achilles tendon stretch (30 second hold -3 repetitions);Calf stretch (30 second hold – 3 repetitions); Plantar fascia self stretch (10 second hold ,10 repetitions at a time ,3 sets of 10 repetitions per day); Ball rolling exercise (rolling for 2 minutes); Plantar aponeurosis loading (10 repetitions with 2 second hold). Treatments will be given for 2 weeks with 3 sessions in a week. Data would be recorded at day 0 then at completion of treatment of 2 weeks using VAS and FFI for pain and disability respectively.
