One size fits all solution to plantar fasciitis pain relief

How it Works

Experiencing heel pain brought on by plantar fasciitis? PlantarTech is the one-size-fits-all solution to plantar fasciitis pain relief. This innovative splint stands apart from old fashioned static splinting methods by providing mobility, adjustability, and comfort that allows for daily wear.

To better understand how our strap works, let’s take a deeper look at what causes plantar fasciitis.

GET RELIEF

How to use the PlantarTech Strap

  • Step 1:

    Place your big toe in the cup on the triangle pointing up with your toenail barely exposed and cross the straps over your toe.

  • Step 2:

    Wrap the straps around your ankle and secure with Velcro at your appropriate size. Adjust the strap as needed.

    The splint does NOT need to be tight to work. Do not pull too hard initially.

  • Step 3:

    Wear at night for 8-12 weeks.

  • Step 4:

    Don’t forget to perform toe and calf stretching in the morning.

Why It Works

When you lift up your big toe, the plantar fascia tightens, locking the arch of your foot.

Windlass Effect

  • When you lift up your big toe, the plantar fascia tightens, locking the arch of your foot.

  • Locking the arch of your foot provides a firm platform to propel your leg forward, helping you walk.

  • Over time, repetitive movement strains the plantar fascia, causing micro-damage in athletes and non-athletes alike.

Nightly Stretching

  • During sleep, the foot rests. It is during this time that any accumulated micro-damage within the plantar fascia begins to heal.

  • However, because healing cannot be fully completed during sleep, this creates re-tearing with the first step of the day.

  • The resulting cycle of partial healing and repetitive trauma exacerbates the pain and inflammation of the plantar fascia.

  • The PlantarTech Strap allows the plantar fascia to heal in a tensed position. This results in pain relief, decreased inflammation, and repair of the micro-damage over time.
