Abstract

The plantar fasciitis provides fundamental support to the longitudinal arch of the foot. This, in turn, is the most common cause of pain in that specific area of the body. Even though the plantar fasciitis tends to affect more to women, adults, athletes. The objective of this work was to reduce plantar pain through physiotherapeutic technical aids. To do so, we prepared an experimental design research work of a pre-experimental type with a longitudinal cut, and a quantitative approach was carried out. The sample of the population was 100 people that came from an announcement from which only 46 people between the age of 20 to 70 were selected for this study. The results of these physiotherapeutic techniques reflected a moderate pain of 21 people of 45.7% and severe pain with 25 people of 54.3%. In the final assessment, the percentages of plantar pain decreased in 20 people with 43.5% without pain, in mild pain with 11 people in 23.9%, and 15 people in 32.6% in moderate pain in that place. In conclusion, this study showed that the vast majority of people resulted in improvement in physical condition. If you experience any tension in the plantar fasciitis, it is recommended to continue performing the stretching and strengthening physical exercises already taught.
