Hi to you all
I'm in my final year, thank goodness, and just starting my dissertation. Have been going round in circles for hours trying to make a decision about best topic to cover. Finally settled on plantar fasciitis (or is it fasciosis!). Focusing on stretching and its efficacy. Got hold of most of the articles I think addressing the area (DiGiovanni et al, Pfeiffer et al, Radford et al, Dimou et al, Barry et al, Porter et al, Hyland et al, ) If anyone can think of any others I could throw into the pot, then that would be great.
Also, wondered if anyone out there has come across any decent trials looking at the specific use of ice therapy or deep tissue massage in the treatment of PF. From what I can see, they're treatments that have been "lumped in" with others
