LITERATURE REVIEW: PHYSIOTHERAPY MANAGEMENT IN THE CASE OF PLANTAR FASCIITIS

Objective: This study aims to review and summarize secondary data related to the management of plantar fasciitis injuries through a physiotherapy approach. Method: This study uses a literature review method, by collecting and analyzing scientific journals relevant to the topic of plantar fasciitis. Data sources were obtained from several academic databases such as Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and PubMed. Results: From the review of several journals, it is known that patients with plantar fasciitis injuries can be given several physiotherapy interventions in the form of modalities and physical exercise tailored to the clinical symptoms experienced. Novelty: Based on the literature review, physiotherapy interventions such as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), ultrasound therapy, stretching exercises, and Active Release Technique (ART) are proven effective in reducing pain and improving the range of motion (ROM) in people with plantar fasciitis.
