Abstract
Plantar Fasciitis is a common condition that involves the plantar fascia of the foot. Based on current research available through multiple database searches a detailed literature review of physical therapy treatment intervention efficacy studies were summarized. A hypothetical primary study is being proposed to further exam the efficacy of custom foot orthoses compared to plantar fasciitis specific stretching on the treatment of Plantar Fasciitis to decrease pain in healthy athletic females. Methods for a hypothetical primary study implementation were proposed to validate treatment efficacy. Results and conclusion of data findings were hypothetically concluded based on results of previous studies within the literature review performed.
