Summary

This Randomized Controlled Trial aims to compare the effects of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization(IASTM) and Manual Longitudinal friction massage (MLFM) on pain, functional ability and gait in individuals with plantar fasciitis.

Conditions

  • Plantar Fasciitis of Both Feet

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM)

Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) to the plantar fascia and intrinsic foot muscles using longitudinal and sweeping strokes from the calcaneal insertion towards the forefoot.

PROCEDURE

Manual Longitudinal Friction Massage

Manual longitudinal friction massage that will be applied manually using thumbs or fingers from the calcaneal insertion towards the forefoot.
