Observations

You have shared a great knowledge about plantar fasciitis, it's symptoms, and causes. But you didn't add it's type, acute and chronic Plantar Fasciitis. Plantar Fasciitis can be caused by many reasons and that's good you point out then. Cold therapy and rest is the best therapy for it's treatment and then radiotherapy. I appreciate your effort.
Task 2 (3/3)
In the second question, you tell us about how you have to assess a patient by doing physical examination and history taking, performing investigations and specialized tests. That's good you search out other special tests too. Excellent.
Task 3 (3.8/4)
You try the toe curls, calf stretch and heel raise. You did the heel raise and toe curls correctly. But in calf stretch you have to stretch towards yourself and apply pressure for at least 5 to 10 seconds. Always remember to cold therapy & rest is the best therapy in the treatment of plantar fasciitis. I appreciate your efforts.
