PLAN:
Advise patient to rest from aggravating activities. Provide education on plantar fasciitis and activity modification. Commence with soft tissue massage to the calf and plantar fascia. Prescribe a home exercise programme including stretching and strengthening exercises. Review in one week.
TREATMENT:
Soft tissue massage to the calf and plantar fascia. Taping to support the arch.
HEP (Home Exercise Programme):

(For each section, only include if explicitly mentioned in transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit section entirely. Never come up with your own patient details, assessment, plan, interventions, evaluation, or next steps—use only the transcript, contextual notes, or clinical note as reference for all information. If any information related to a placeholder has not been explicitly mentioned, do not state that in the output; simply leave the relevant placeholder or section out entirely. Use as many lines, paragraphs, or bullet points as needed to capture all relevant information from the transcript.)
