Overnight stretching for chronic heel pain relief

The Strassburg Sock provides a simple and effective way to treat plantar fasciitis. This long sock uses a tension strap to hold the foot in a stretched position. It maintains a gentle pull on the plantar fascia while you sleep. This prevents the tissue from tightening overnight and reduces morning pain. The Strassburg Sock is much more comfortable than traditional rigid night splints. You can move your leg freely in bed without feeling bulky or restricted. The breathable material ensures your foot stays cool throughout the night. Many clinical studies support the effectiveness of this stretching method. You can adjust the tension easily to find your ideal comfort level. This sock helps you return to pain free walking much faster.

This easy to use, inexpensive device is designed to keep tension on the tissue (plantar fascia) so it heals in a stretched position at night. In this way many users find a reduction of their morning pain, some have noticed a reduced recovery time and yet others have reduced the need for medications.

When worn as prescribed, it does not allow the plantar fascia to contract while in the prone or supine position. The device holds the ankle and forefoot joints in a position of slight dorsiflexion that prevents a position of plantarflexion, that is the plantar fascia is not allowed to contract.

In addition the involuntary stretching of the plantar fascia over a long period of time helps to strengthen the foot’s arch.
