Introduction

Plantar heel pain (PHP) is a complex and multifactorial condition with many factors proposed to be associated with it. With the aetiology of PHP still poorly understood, it is shrouded in uncertainty regarding its optimal management. Subsequently, many questions arose during this series on PHP, which can now be answered based on the literature discussed during this series. This final course in the programme on PHP will answer the questions raised while also providing practical demonstrations on the assessment and treatment techniques described in the “new protocol”.

Aims

The purpose of this course is to answer typical questions raised about PHP and to provide practical demonstrations of the techniques used in the “new protocol”.
