Abstract	Plantar fascia is also known as plantar aponeurosis. It is triangular in shape, the centre part is thick and thinner at either sides. They are present directly beneath under the skin of sole of foot. The main cause for pathology are Excessive wear to plantar fascia of foot and Biomechanical fault that cause abnormal pronation of foot. The important features resulting from pathology are gradual and insidious onset of heel pain in plantar fascia, Early morning stiffness is more common. Pain worsens with ambulation and may exacerbate by climbing stairs. This condition can be treated with wide variety of methods like, Stretching exercise to plantar fascia, soleus and gastrocnemius. Tapping around ankle joint. Ankle foot orthotic device. But there is growing body of literature in myofascial release technique which is effective in various soft tissues lesions. It is a class of manipulative technique that relieves abnormal constriction of fascia. Similarly therapeutic ultrasound is one of the most commonly used modality in management of soft tissue lesion. Studies with comparison between therapeutic ultrasound and myofascial release therapy is lacking. Hence the study was undertaken with intention to find out effectiveness of therapeutic ultrasound and myofascial release technique.
