Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint – Passive Night Splint
February 9th, 2010 by admin
The Passive Night Splint is probably one of the most recommended by podiatrists. Not necessarily because it’s the best plantar fasciitis night splint but because it’s a very popular brand. And popularity is often a good indicator of a good product. I mean, lets face it, we don’t want to be buying the least favorite brand.
Anyway, if you aren’t familiar with how a night splint works, suffice it to say that they prevent that incredible shot of pain in your heel when you first get up in the morning. How? By preventing your foot from relaxing while it heals overnight so that when you put tension on it again in the morning, you don’t tear open all those freshly healed plantar fascia in your foot.
So let’s look at why you might want to consider the Passive Night Splint:
It feels really good. It wraps your calf and foot in padded velour.
It’s held in place by three Velcro straps so it doesn’t shift or move out of place at night.
The velour lining can be removed for hand washing.
