The pain from plantar fascitis is felt in the heel of the foot and can often feel like walking on a bruise. There are several different methods of physical therapy that can treat the pain of plantar fascitis says OrthoCarolina Concord Physical Therapist Scott Beecher.

The discomfort of plantar fascitis is a result of micro tears that happen in multiple ways include the use of poor footwear and jobs or hobbies that incorporate a lot of standing.

- Taping techniques

- Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization

- Dry needling
