Overview

Randomized trial compares myofascial release methods in managing plantar fasciitis symptoms and thickness.

Key Points

  • Myofascial release in the superficial backline significantly improved pain and function scores.
  • The Chain Myofascial Release group showed greater reductions in pain and function compared to the Gastrocnemius group.
  • Ultrasound showed a significant decrease in plantar fascia thickness only in the Chain Myofascial Release group.
  • Findings suggest that incorporating myofascial release along the superficial backline may enhance treatment for plantar fasciitis.
