Abstract:Heel pain is a common foot problem and harms the foot-specific and general health-related quality of life and shows a distant pattern of disability in different functional domains. The study consisted of a total of 52 participants. Individuals were divided into 2 groups: Control and Interventional group using the chit method (26 participants in Group A and 26 participants in Group B). Group A received Traditional therapy and Group B received an Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique. Both Group A and Group B showed a significant difference in Pre and Post VAS, and ROM respectively (p=0.00). When Group A and Group B were compared for VAS and ROM, the Control Group (Group A) showed a decrease in VAS significantly (p=0.00) but there was no significant difference between ROM between the Control and Intervention groups (Group A and Group B respectively) (p=0.833). Both INIT and Traditional approaches are effective in reducing Plantar Heel Pain and increase Ankle dorsiflexion range, however, the Traditional Approach may be a preferred treatment option.
