C. Subject Recruitment Convenience sampling will be implemented in selecting up to 60 subjects from a population of individuals with chronic plantar fasciitis who have either received, or not received treatment in the previous three months for the same condition. Following IRB approval, clinical sites, running stores and university campus will be solicited for recruitment of participants.

Exclusion criteria for our sample will include: current symptoms consistent with a lumbar radiculitis, radiculopathy, or myelopathy, history of foot or ankle fracture with or without the presence of hardware from an open reduction internal fixation, positive tarsal tunnel syndrome test, known or suspected pregnancy, and systemic Rheumatic disease, or those undergoing litigation for any medical condition.
