Massage Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis Pain

Does research support the benefits of massage therapy for the treatment of plantar fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of a thick band of tissue called the plantar fascia and is one of the most common causes of heel pain.

A study looking at the effects of massage therapy on pain and functional limitations in a patient with plantar fasciitis found massage therapy may decrease pain and functional impairments.

The patient received Swedish massage, hydrotherapy, stretches, and myofascial release and within 5 weeks the pain and functional impairments decreased.

The results of this study indicate the benefits of massage therapy for pain and functional impairment in patients with plantar fasciitis.
