Background:
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain
in patients. Multimodal physiotherapy integrating manual techniques such as
instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilisation (IASTM), Percussive therapy, and
dynamic cupping therapy has shown promising outcomes.
Objective:
A Case Study Evaluating the Synergistic
Effects of Multimodal Soft Tissue Therapy Combined with a Structured Home
Exercise Program.
Methodology:
This single-patient case study involved a
25-year-old female with a three-month history of right heel pain who underwent
eight physiotherapy sessions over four weeks. Each session included IASTM,
percussive therapy, and dynamic cupping, along with a home exercise program.
Outcome measures included the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Foot Function Index
(FFI), and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion, assessed pre- and post- intervention.
