Summary

This study compares two hands-on treatments for plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. One uses deep finger pressure, the other a special tool. About 52 adults with moderate pain will receive one of the two techniques over 8 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in pain, foot function, and walking ability to see which approach works better.
