Summary

The aim of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of a therapeutic exercise programme in patients with plantar fasciitis applied early and aimed at strengthening the hip and foot musculature.

Detailed description

All patients will be informed about the study to be carried out and will give their prior informed consent. The programme has a first part of teaching directed to patients by physiotherapists, and a second part of application at home, with a duration of 12 weeks. An experimental study will be designed with random assignment of patients with similar characteristics to two groups. The non-experimental group will receive their usual treatment (medication and recommnendations as stretching) and the experimental group will follow their usual treatment and also participate in the therapeutic programe.
