    Hi Aamir,

    Such cases may respond very well to neural mobilizations (gliding). Neural mobs are very gentle stretchings made on toes (flexion/extension) slowly without pain and for 15/20 repeats.
    Then you have to mobilize the ankle with the same constraints but maintaining the foot with the hand.

    Recovery will happen in few sessions without stretching or strengthning.

    Re: Plantar Fasciitis

    hi aamir,
    i do agree with neural mobs. its simple, just push the greattoe in upward direction and the rest of the toes downwards. i'm taking about applying pressure at the heads of the metatarsals. ask him/her to due 8-10 strong flexion extensions of the toes. Its gone if done the right way. coomon sense, tape it then and ask the client to stop checking it.
