Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Myofascial soft tissue mobilization is a low load, long duration stretch to the myofascial complex technique that is given in both acute and chronic conditions which in caused by tightness and soft tissue restriction in the patients with planter fasciitis to restore length, decrease pain and to improve function.
Cupping therapy on gastrocnemius is a medical technique that applies negative pressure over pain areas and pressure points that alleviates pain and improve blood circulation. it could be low-cost and convenient alternative technique to treat planter fasciitis.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
J Stroke Myofascial Release
Patient is in prone lying position with foot supported. Pressure is applied with the heel of the opposite hand, while a stroke in the shape of the letter J is applied in the direction of the restriction, with two or three fingers, which creates some torque at the end. Myofascial Release techniques will be performed for 20 repetitions.
J Stroke Myofascial Release
Group A will receive J stroke myofascial release on planter fascia (with hot pack for 10-15 minutes on calf) 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks.
Ischemic Release on Gastrocnemius through Dry Cupping
Dry cupping will provided to the subjects thrice a week for 4 weeks in the dry cupping therapy group, a plastic cupping bell will be used. Cups will applied to the painful site for 10 minutes in each session. A manual hand pump was used to create the vacuum for suction. The intensity of the vacuum will based on subject tolerance.
Ischemic Release on Gastrocnemius through Dry Cupping
Group B will ischemic release on gastrocnemius (with hot pack for 10-15 minutes on calf) 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks.
