•Patients with plantar fasciitis, characterized as pain at the medial hind foot, presenting themselves to a GP or sports physician and aged between 18 and 65 years and a minimal pain duration of 2 weeks are eligible for participation. The diagnosis of plantar fasciitis can be made with reasonable certainty on the basis of clinical assessment alone. Patients typically report a gradual onset of pain in the inferior heel that is usually worse with their first steps in the morning or after a period of inactivity. And secondly there is a localized area of maximal tenderness over the anteromedial aspect of the inferior heel.

•Recurrent complaints of plantar fasciitis for more than 2 years; complaints caused by trauma; earlier treatment for plantar fasciitis by a podiatrist or treatment with orthotics; suspected (osteo)arthritis in the subtalar or talonavicular joint; suspicion on tarsal tunnel syndrome, stress fractures, infections or tumours, systemic diseases (Bechterew, psoriasis or multiple sclerosis); no understanding of the Dutch language.
