Summary

This small pilot study compares a nerve-stretching technique (neural mobilization) to standard physical therapy for plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. Twelve adults aged 19 to 40 with confirmed plantar fasciitis will receive three weeks of treatment. Researchers will measure pain, foot function, and foot health before and after treatment to see which approach works better.
