The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the application of KT as an integrative method in PF and to compare it with ESWT therapy. However, there are limited studies that have investigated the effectiveness of KT, which is a noninvasive, cost-effective and safe intervention, as part of PF treatment. For treating PF using conservative methods, ESWT has been shown to be effective in many studies. There are numerous studies showing the beneficial effect of KT in many diseases such as osteoarthritis, muscle strains and spine curvature disorders. In recent years, the use of KT has been increasing for many diseases, especially those of the musculoskeletal system. It corrects muscle function, causes lifting of the skin, provides space for lymphatic fluid movement and relieves abnormal muscle tension. Kinesiotaping (KT) is purported to facilitate and inhibit muscle activity. Although there are many treatment modalities, there is no consensus for a definitive nonsurgical method for symptom relief in individuals with PF. It has been estimated that about 90% of patients with PF get relief through conservative management alone. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), steroid injections, platelet-rich plasma, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), stretching and strengthening exercises, fabrication orthoses and taping are conservative treatment methods for PF. The etiology of PF is multifactorial obesity, pes planus, shortened Achilles tendon, prolonged weight bearing, inadequate stretching and biomechanical abnormalities can all cause PF. Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a degenerative condition that is one of the main causes of heel and foot pain.
Plantar fascia is a thick connective tissue that absorbs shock and provides support to the sole of the foot.
