Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Foam rolling exercises  For Planter Fascia the Patient were in standing position with the affected foot on foam roller and non affected foot on floor. The Participant were instructed to do back and forth motion from heel to toes of foot on foam roller while exerting pressure on foam roller. Frequency for foam rolling 30 sec hold 3 set. Time Duration 10 min. Total duration for this session will be 30 mins. There will be 4 sessions/week for 2 weeks, and 1 week home exercise program and follow up 
Comparator Agent  IASTM(instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization) technique along with conventional therapy  The Graston tools were then used to mobilize the tissues of the plantar foot by passing the tools along the foot. A two-hand hold grip was used to ensure that the instrument require 30-60° angle to the treatment surface, Plantar fascia Soft tissue dysfunctions in the foot was detected using scanner and treated when manually applied brush strokes to the affected area and proceeded to use 2 cycles of 15-20 series of strokes one cycle of stokes in proximal to distal direction and vice versa over the area. During application one end of the instrument was stabilized, serving as a fulcrum of motion while the other end is moving, with the resistance at the end of the instrument that is moving. Force was directed deep enough to detect increased tissue restriction Duration will be 10 min. Total duration for this session will be 25 – 30 min. There will be 4 sessions/week for 2 weeks, intervention and home exercise program for 1 week, and follow up

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Several exercises are done to treat the affected fascia. Other instrumentation are also used like Foam rolling and IASTM both techniques are effective for reducing pain and functional activity in Planter fasciitis. This both techniques are for releasing fascia which getting tight in planter fasciitis. So we took up this study by comparing this two  technique we get to know which technique is better.
