STUDY DESIGN: Randomized Clinical Trial, single factor, pretest/post-test studyb PLACE AND DURATION: Gymnasiums and Physicians' Clinics from 1st June 2016 to 30th December 2016. METHODOLOGY: The sample size of 75 patients was collected through convenience sampling technique divided into three groups i.e. Group 1, stretching alone, Group 2, calcaneal taping and Group 3, sham taping. Improvement in Pain and functional limitations were outcomes of study. Visual Analogue Scale [VAS] and Patient Specific Functional Scale [PSFS] were used as outcomes measures. RESULTS: Mean difference at pre-treatment and first post treatment assessment, pre-treatment and second post treatment assessments. Result showed within group comparison at post treatment status and Assessment status at two levels post intervention for total score of patient specific function scale of patients stretching, calcaneal and sham taping scores. All levels were statistically significantly different towards improvement (p-0.000 and 0.001 respectively). Stretching Group mean was 4.44±1.231 while analyzing within groups statistics, the mean score of Numbering Rating Scale was 6.00±1.21) at pre-treatment assessment and 2.23±0.85) at post treatment assessment.
