Background: The plantar fascia is a thick and fibrous connective tissue structure and is located at the metatarsophalangeal joints of each toe and the medial tuberosity of the calcaneus. Chronic micro-trauma and overuse injuries to the foot's plantar surface are the root causes of plantar fasciitis.  

Purpose:  The purpose of the present study is to compare the effects of Myofascial Release and Ergon Technique on foot function and balance in Planter Fasciitis.

Methodology: Eighteen males and females with morning heel-pain(unilateral), aged 30 to 50 years having positive Windlass test participated in this study. Both Groups A and B have 9 participants. The study was conducted in Physical Therapy Clinic, Rehab Max, Layyah. For a period of six months. Group A Received Myofascial Release, while Group B received Ergon Technique. The therapeutic ultrasound was used as baseline treatment in both groups. Foot function and foot balance were assessed using Foot Function Index, and Berg Balance Scale respectively at baseline, 3^rd week, and 6^th week. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 27.

Results:The findings of study showed improvement in both groups, but Group A (Myofascial Release) showed more significant result than Group B (Ergon Technique). The results of intragroup analysis (Friedman test) and intergroup analysis (Mann-Whitney U test) obtained value is (p<0.05) for all variables.

Conclusion: Study findings suggest that Myofascial Release Technique showed more significant results compared to Ergon Technique for foot function and balance.
