Literature review demonstrates myofascial release improves pain relief and function in plantar fasciitis, suggesting enhanced outcomes with physiotherapy.
Key Points
Myofascial release significantly reduces pain and improves foot function in patients with plantar fasciitis, outperforming conventional therapy alone.
Incorporating myofascial release with conventional physiotherapy yields faster recovery and better long-term results.
Thirteen studies from 2013 to 2024 analyzed the combined effects of myofascial release and physiotherapy for plantar fasciitis.
Myofascial release is shown to be a non-invasive, effective intervention for managing plantar fasciitis, emphasizing the need for standard protocols in future research.
