Randomized Controlled Trial
Effectiveness of myofascial release in the management of plantar heel pain: a randomized controlled trial.
Previous studies have reported that stretching of the calf musculature and the plantar fascia are effective management strategies for plantar heel pain (PHP). However, it is unclear whether myofascial release (MFR) can improve the outcomes in this population. ⋯ This study provides evidence that MFR is more effective than a control intervention for PHP.
