The purpose of this lightweight plantar fasciitis night brace is to keep the patient's ankle in a neutral position overnight, passively stretching the calf and plantar fascia during sleep. This gentle stretch helps reduce the muscle contracture, inflammation, and associated pain. The lightweight, low profile shell is sturdy and breathable and has three padded straps with buckles to ensure immobilization. In addition, the padding features a washable Lycra covering that is cool against the skin for maximum comfort.Recommended Best PracticesIt will be best to start wearing the night splint for a short period of time, perhaps only 1 hour the first night, then extending it gradually each night and week.Most splints are also adjustable, so you can alter the tension to suit. It may be that you need to start with it looser and make it tighter over time. The ideal target will be to wear it overnight or for around 4 to 5 hours at a time. This is the perfect time period for the plantar fascia tissue to extend and begin to heal!Our uniquely designed night splint includes buckles on both sides of the splint eliminating the need to reach over and struggle to buckle the splint.IMPORTANT FITTING INSTRUCTIONSIf you find your foot or heel moving around in the splint, tighten each strap until the splint feels snug-this will help keep your foot in place.Donning TipsPlace the splint on the floor,Step into the splint with heel as far back as possibleClose and adjust the clasps while the splint is on the floor.Clasping and unclasping can take a couple of times of donning the brace to get used toWhere Does the Wedge Go?Step 1 Lift up the fabric pad at the toe area of the boot.Step 2 Slide the wedge underneath and affix to the velcro on the wedge to the velcro on the bottom of the boot.Can be moved around to adjust flexion.Numb feeling in my foot?Experiencing a numb feeling in your foot when wearing the brace?Ironically, this is a sign that the product is doing its job.
