Comparing Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization With Positional Release Technique for Plantar Fasciitis Pain and Range of Motion
Egypt60 participantsStarted 2025-06-22
Plain-language summary
Chronic plantar fasciitis (CPF) is the most common cause of chronic heel pain in adults, affecting both young active patients and older, more sedentary individuals. It results from chronic overload of the plantar fascia. This overload may be due to overuse, as seen in runners and military personnel, or due to excessive loading in individuals with obesity (body mass index \>30), sedentary lifestyles, or occupations that require prolonged standing.
