Description
Key Features:
Controlled Dorsiflexion: The splint comfortably positions the foot in a controlled dorsiflexion, which means the foot and toes are held upward at a slight angle (around 5 degrees). This position provides a gentle, constant stretch.
Gentle Stretching: It is designed to provide a gentle stretch to both the plantar fascia ligament and the Achilles tendon. This helps to alleviate tightness and promote flexibility.
Lightweight and Comfortable Design: The splint is made of a lightweight polypropylene plastic shell. It features a soft, cushioned sleeve made of polyester, terry cloth, and a hook-and-loop cover for maximum comfort during sleep.
Removable and Washable Cover: The soft cover is removable, allowing for easy cleaning.
Sizing: The "Small" size is designed to fit men's shoe sizes 6–8.5 and women's shoe sizes 6–8.5. It's also available in medium and large sizes.
Latex-free: The product is latex-free.
Uses:
Plantar Fasciitis: This is the primary use of the Pro-Tec Night Splint. By gently stretching the plantar fascia ligament, it helps alleviate the pain and symptoms associated with this condition, which is a common cause of heel and arch pain.
Achilles Tendonitis: The splint also helps to stretch the Achilles tendon, making it useful for treating Achilles tendonitis.
Other Pain and Tightness: It can be used to alleviate general pain and tightness in the arch and heel area, as well as in the calf.
Promoting Flexibility and Healing: By keeping the foot in the correct position and providing a stretch, it helps to increase the flexibility of the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon, which can decrease the likelihood of further strain or tearing and enhance the overall healing process.
