Summary

This study tests two taping techniques—Low-Dye and calcaneal taping—to see which better reduces pain and improves foot function in people with plantar fasciitis. Forty adults with heel pain for over three months will receive one of the taping methods plus physical therapy for two weeks. Researchers will measure pain, foot function, and walking patterns before and after treatment.
