Kinesio tape plus therapy for plantar fasciitis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding kinesio tape (a stretchy therapeutic tape) to standard physical therapy can reduce heel pain, improve ankle motion, and help you walk better. It is for people with plantar fasciitis who haven't had recent injections or surgery.
