Background: Planter fasciitis is a syndrome that occurs due to Repeated trauma on planter fascia, originating from the medial Calcaneus. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of myofascial release (MFR) & kinesiotaping with ultrasound on pain and function in a patient with plantar fasciitis. Method- 30 subjects with planter fasciitis were selected according to the randomized sampling method and equally divided into 2 groups Group 1(n=15) and group 2(n=15). The first group received kinesiotaping with ultrasound. The second group received myofascial release with ultrasound. treatment was given for 4 weeks on alternate days. Result: There was a statistically significant difference of pre and post reading within the groups. Group A subjects who were treated with myofascial Release technique with ultrasound, when results were viewed on NPRS & FAAM, it showed significant improvement in the planter fascia symptoms in comparison to group B who were given kinesiotaping and ultrasound, while analysis of mean and standard deviation values with in the groups. Group A showed significant decrease in NPRS & FAAM as compared to group B. Conclusion: The finding of the study is that myofascial release with ultrasound is more effective in reduction of pain and improving function in planter fasciitis patients.
