Camp Scandinavia Elements Stretch-up Plantar Fasciitis Night Sock

Informazioni su Camp Scandinavia Elements Stretch-up Plantar Fasciitis Night Sock

Camp Scandinavia Elements Stretch-up – a black stretch sock that holds the plantar fascia extended at night or at rest and eases the pain of heel spur and plantar fasciitis without limiting movement in the foot.

A night sock that stretches the plantar fascia

The Elements Stretch-up pulls the toes gently upwards through a strap that runs from the forefoot to a band round the calf, and holds the plantar fascia — the connective tissue that runs under the foot — in a slightly extended position. That works against the fascia stiffening overnight, which is the usual reason for the sharp heel pain of the first steps in the morning. The stretchy fabric gives enough pull without chafing, and you can wear the sock at night or resting during the day. You pull the sock on, fasten the hook-and-loop strap below the knee and thread the long strap through the loop. Tighten it until your toes lift about 1 cm off the floor, then increase gradually to at most 2.5 cm.
