Summary

This study tested two physical therapy approaches for people with painful heel spurs. 38 adults received either myofascial release alone or myofascial release plus taping over several weeks. The goal was to see which method better reduces pain and improves foot function. Results will help guide treatment choices for this common foot condition.
