Abstract

Physiotherapy is a form of health care aimed at individuals and groups to develop, maintain, and restore movement and body function throughout the life cycle using manual handling, movement enhancement, equipment (physical, electrotherapeutic, and mechanical), functional training, and communication. The Indonesian Physiotherapy Association as a professional organization has made various efforts to ensure the quality of physiotherapy services. PMK No. 65 of 2015 contains standards for physiotherapy services that regulate how physiotherapy services should be provided in health care facilities. Although all regulations have been in place, they do not fully reflect quality services. This study aims to determine the management of physiotherapy in reducing pain, increasing muscle strength, and improving functional activity abilities in cases of plantar fasciitis using ultrasound modalities and exercise therapy in the form of stretching and myofascial release. After six sessions of therapy, the results obtained were a decrease in pain at rest from T1:4 to T6:1, tenderness from T1:6 to T2:6, pain at movement from T1:8 to T6:5, and an increase in muscle strength from T1:4 to T6:5. The range of joint motion remained constant from the start of therapy to the sixth therapy.
