The 1000 Mile UP Plantar Fascia sock helps relieve pain and tension associated with plantar fasciitis while you sleep. Plantar fasciitis refers to the inflammation of the weight-bearing connective tissue (plantar fascia) that runs from your heel through the arch of your foot and the base of the toes. This may be a result of overtraining, overpronation, running on hard surfaces or wearing footwear with inadequate support or cushioning. This knee-length sock gently raises the foot from the toe-end. Holding this stretch overnight promotes healing of the plantar fascia tissues in this optimal position. It helps prevent the tightening of plantar fascia and calf muscle and provides relief of associated heel pain. The following day you will be able to walk more comfortably with reduced tension of the tissues. - Rehabilitation tool that can be worn while you sleep to enjoy improved comfort, reduced pain and to help support repair for sufferers of plantar fasciitis - Raises the foot from the toe-end in a gentle stretch which is sustained overnight - Reduces bunching with a precise fit - Bilateral - left and right fit - Includes 1 plantar fascia sock per pack - Support level 3 (Pro) - 1000 Mile's support levels include Basic, Moderate, Pro and Maximum Directions: Undo Velcro fastener.
