Background: Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders of foot.   The pain and discomfort associated with this condition has a dramatic impact on physical mobility and function. Treatment of this condition is usually conservative; however, review of literature revealed no clinical studies demonstrating the efficacy of any targeted treatment  for this condition.
Methods: The subjects were examined according to the evaluation Performa. If they  were found to be eligible for study. An informed consent form was taken. The subjects were assigned in to three different groups. In all three groups pre treatment session included
assessment of pain, according to VAS before the application of any treatment. This was a  comparative study which included 45 subjects with plantar fasciitis, who were randomly  divided into three groups. Subjects in group I had 15 patients received ultrasound, passive stretching exercises and kineso taping while subjects in group II had 15 patients received laser, passive stretching exercises, while subjects in Group III had 15 patients received passive stretching only. Patients were evaluated at the 1st day, 5th day and on 10th day using VAS  (visual analogue scale) for pain intensity. Results: A statistically significant difference in improvement was noted within the groups and between the groups in terms of visual analogue (p0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that Ultrasound and passive stretching, when clubbed with Kinesio Taping method, do have significantly better effect on pain relief  in plantar fasciitis especially from day one itself, when compared with other two groups. Pain reduced in all three groups but methods used in group one much more effective in reducing pain in plantar fasciitis patients.
