About

The goal of this clinical trial] is to compare between the effect of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization and positional release technique in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis

The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

1. Is there a difference between the effect of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization and positional release technique on pain pressure threshold in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis?
2. Is there a difference between the effect of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization and positional release technique on foot function level in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis?
