This night splint helps speed up the healing process of plantar fasciitis. Soft, low-profile, slim-fitting bootie from Swede-O can be worn when resting or overnight to stretch the plantar fascia. Patented Thermoskin keeps skin warm, which helps stretch out the band of connective tissue that runs from the heel to the toe (the plantar fascia), while adjustable dorsal flexion (the amount of tension) gently pulls back toes toward the ankle. The flexible Plantar FXT Night Splint even allows you to take a few steps if needed.
