Interventions
1. TENS+cold pack (For 10 mins on plantar ascpect of foot) 2. Stretching exercises (5 repetition 2 sets/day) Standing calf stretch Seated plantar fascia stretch Plantar fascia massage Achilles stretch Frozen can roll Towel stretch
In the first step, after the metatarsophalangeal joints is dorsiflexed, the first strap will be adhered firmly to the posterior heel at its proximal end. The other end of the strap is cut into four slices of equal width. Each slice is applied with a 50% stretch (50% tensile strain) and attached to the plantar forefoot. In the second step, another strap is applied with gentle compression across the bases of the four slices beneath the foot and wrapped around the rearfoot
