Function: Provide arch support and redistribute pressure across the foot.
Why helpful: Reduces strain on the plantar fascia by correcting foot posture (e.g., overpronation or flat feet), especially helpful during standing and walking.

Function: Used to self-massage the arch of the foot.
Why helpful: Stimulates blood flow, breaks down adhesions, and loosens the plantar fascia tissue to reduce tightness and pain.

Function: Spread the toes apart and realign the forefoot.
Why helpful: Encourages proper toe alignment, which can indirectly reduce tension on the fascia by improving weight distribution and foot mechanics.

Function: Individual toe compartments improve toe splay and alignment.
Why helpful: Improves proprioception and encourages natural toe positioning, which helps stabilize the foot and reduces fascia strain during movement.

Function: Support and offload the plantar fascia with elastic or rigid taping methods.
Why helpful: Temporarily relieves pain by supporting the arch and limiting excessive movement that aggravates the fascia.

EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation): Activates and strengthens the intrinsic foot muscles.
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): Targets pain relief by interrupting pain signals.
Why helpful: EMS helps in muscle strengthening to support the arch; TENS provides non-invasive pain relief during flare-ups.
