Link because I found this:Per the American Physiological Society Journal's conclusion on a recent study: Indeed, the presence of contractile cells has been confirmed for the plantar, lumbar, and crural fasciae and fascia lata and the fascia of the gastrocnemius muscle.
The plantar fascia is a non-contractile tissue. Unlike a muscle, its primary function is to provide stability to the underside of the foot and the medial longitudinal arch (MLA). When walking, running, or hopping the plantar fascia absorbs force and stabilises the foot.
