Plantar Fasciitis / Heel Spur Orthosis for the Night - Anti heel spur night splint!
This ankle / foot orthosis is a prefabricated night orthosis for the conservative / effective treatment of Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendinitis. The Universal Plantar Plantar Fasciitis Orthosis (UFO) has integrated the best features of all other plantar fasciitis orthotics. Combination with (soft) insoles during the day is recommended for optimal results.
Note: The UFO heel spur night splint can be worn on both the left and right.
The use of the heel spur night splint:
- Wear the night splint every night for several weeks for the best results. When putting on, build a noticeable stretch at the bottom of the foot. We have also drawn up a number of good exercises in consultation with our physiotherapists, which can be downloaded here.
Product feature:
- The UFO ™ comfortably supports the affected foot in a controlled amount of dorsiflexion, which applies a Low Load Prolonged Stretch (LLPS) to the soft tissues of the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon.
- The Orthosis can break the cycle of injury, pain, and re-injury by limiting soft tissue contraction during the night.
