Description
Recommended Best Practices
It 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 INSTRUCTIONS
If 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 Tips
- Place the splint on the floor,
- Step into the splint with heel as far back as possible
- Close 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 to

About Plantar FasciitisPlantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain. The plantar fascia is the flat band of tissue (ligament) that connects your heel bone to your toes. It supports the arch of your foot. If you strain your plantar fascia, it gets weak, swollen, and irritated (inflamed). Then your heel or the bottom of your foot hurts when you stand or walk. Plantar fasciitis is common in middle-aged people. It also occurs in younger people who are on their feet a lot, like athletes or soldiers. It can happen in one foot or both feet. |
So how can the splint help my plantar fasciitis??When wearing the splint, the foot is held in a certain position, called “dorsiflexion“. This means that the fascia is stretched, not allowing it to contract and become tighter overnight. The great thing about a night splint, is that the remedy is quite gentle and the fascia will be returned to it’s proper length over a period of time. Once stretched out, the plantar fascia will become less tense and therefore will cause less pain. |
TRULY UNIVERSALNow designed with buckles on both sides of the splint, this allows you to wear it on either foot without having to worry about trying to find which side it opens and closes from. |
