Are massage and mobilisations good for chronic plantar heel pain or plantar fasciitis?

I have pain in the sole of my foot and the physio just gave me exercises! Is this correct? We discussed this broad problem in a previous video but what does the evidence show us the best approach is here with chronic plantar heel pain AKA plantar fasciitis? Are massage and mobilisations good for chronic plantar heel pain or plantar fasciitis?

Online Physiotherapy

Put simply this is Physio done via either telephone or video over the internet. Skype and facetime are examples of this.

Contrary to popular belief online physiotherapy can be very effective and it can help the same injuries that face to face physio can help. I have helped many people with injuries such as disc prolapses, tennis elbow, neck pain and much more).
