Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to determine the different treatment methods efficacy in adult individuals with plantar fasciitis. Pain, functionality level, range of motion, muscle performance, quality of life will be examined. In the studies carried out to date; The comparison of the effectiveness of stretching exercises and Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), the comparison of ESWT therapy and ultrasound therapy, the comparison of manual therapy methods and stretching exercises were studied. The effects of the use of double air cushion shoes and exercise therapy on pain management and functional status were investigated. However, no study has been conducted to compare the effectiveness of ESWT treatment, transverse friction massage and exercise training, and to determine whether technics have superiority over each other. In this study, in addition to the evaluation of pain and functionality; joint range of motion, muscle performance and quality of life are the distinguishing features of the study. That's why researcher came up with the idea to work on this topic. This study will shed light on future studies and will contribute to the literature in the treatment of this diagnosis group. It will give us information about whether the different treatment methods researcher use in physical therapy are superior to each other.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Pain will be examined
Pain sensation will be evaluated with a visual analog scale. Patients can score a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 10. Getting a high score indicates a bad situation.
three weeks
Study Arms (3)
1. Group ESWT treatment
ACTIVE COMPARATOR6000 SWT Easy" device will be used for ESWT treatment. The plantar fascia of the patients will be applied once a week for 3 weeks. In each application, 2400 beats, 2.0 bar pressure and 12 frequency doses of ESWT will be applied
2. Group transverse friction massage
ACTIVE COMPARATORTransverse friction massage will be applied to the plantar fascia of the patients for 3 weeks, 3 days a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with a break for 1 day and 15 minutes each. Transverse friction massage, when the patient is in the supine semi-lying position, the big toe will be dorsiflexed and in this position, it will be applied in the direction that will be transverse to the plantar fascia.
3. Group exercise group
ACTIVE COMPARATORStretching the plantar fascia and gastrocsoleus muscles of the patients, towel picking exercises with the foot intrinsic muscles, heel drop exercises will be given. All stretching and exercises will be applied once a day, 5 days a week, for 3 weeks. Plantar fascia stretching exercises will be performed with a physiotherapist; While the patient is lying in the supine position, 30 seconds of stretching will be performed using the windlass (windlass) mechanism (toes are brought to dorsi flexion). This stretch will be repeated 3 times. Gastrocsoleus stretching exercises will be studied with a physiotherapist. In the supine position, the gastrocsoleus muscles will be stretched for 10 seconds and stretching will be performed with 10 repetitions. Towel collection exercises for the foot intrinsic muscles will be practiced in 3 sets, 15 repetitions per day. Heel drop exercise will be applied in 3 sets of 15 repetitions per day.
Interventions
The 1st group will be given ESWT therapy, the 2nd group will be given transverse friction massage, and the 3rd group will be given exercises that are used in the treatment of plantar fasciitis and have proven effectiveness
