Plantar fasciitis is the most common reason for discomfort in the lower heel that can be triggered. Factors such as extended time having to stand, moving, jogging, and an obese body among others, exacerbate the condition. The majority of interventions are non-invasive and successful. Supportive measures such as the stretching of plantar fascia, and calves, appropriate orthotics, and nocturnal dorsiflexion splinting might alleviate the discomfort. Mechanical percussion devices are increasingly being used by sports medicine practitioners. These devices have a similar effect on physical percussion in therapeutic massage. So yet, there has been little recorded study or evidence-based guidelines for these devices. It is critical to learn what specialists believe about this technology and how they use it in clinical practice. Massage gun devices have become increasingly popular in recent years. On the other hand, the current level of research on portable massage gun technology is uncertain. As a result, the recent research on the effectiveness of massage gun devices on lower limb ROM, muscle activity, tightness, and the probability of pain relief will be looked at in this study. This review concludes that these devices are advised as part of pre-exercise warmups because they enhance range reducing potential muscular tension without affecting muscle activity or force output. It's also been utilized as part of a rehabilitation regimen after an injury. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
