Active Orthotics Night Splint for The Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis Achilles tendonitis Drop Foot

I decided to purchase this due to ongoing issues with foot pain due to tendon issues. I'll start by giving you an insight into what lead up to me making my purchase.............I'd been experiencing pain in my right foot for around 2 years, exactly when it came on? I couldn't say, but it was something that happened over time and progressively got worse and worse depending on what I was doing. I'm an active guy, I play rugby and also enjoy cycling, running and gym work as well as having an active job that has me up and about for long periods, so my foot issue was really getting me down and affecting my ability to train and even walk sometimes. After seeking help from a local physio firm, I underwent numerous physio and ultrasound sessions that, although helped immensely to relieve the worst of the issue, there was still that niggling that just wouldn't go away.At this point I was feeling the most discomfort first thing in the morning. We all stiffen up while we sleep and need a good yawn and stretch in the morning, but my foot was taking that bit longer to get working again. I then started looking online at various supports and socks to see if there was anything that could aid this final push to full recovery. I saw this item and after doing a bit of reading up and asking my physio what he thought, decided to try it. I've been using this for about 2 months now and I've got to say it has helped a lot. It helps to hold my foot in a flexed/stretched position over night meaning mornings are a lot easier and the discomfort in my foot is now minimal. It took a few goes to find the right tightness for the straps, I found at first I was waking with pins and needles, but once you've got it set right its all good.One negative, but its a small one that I found a fix for, is the straps sometimes cause the skin underneath to become sore. I've found that wearing a rugby sock sorts that out no problem.All in all, very happy with this. I will stress to anyone experiencing issues like this to speak to a physio or your doctor before purchasing. Everyone's different and what works for some might not be whats right for you and your injury.

I have had plantar fasciitis on and off for quite a while,which has now developed into a sore achilles also.Whilst i can manage a short run with the correct type of trainers and insoles,when i get out of bed the next day it is very uncomfortable to walk on my left foot,particularly the heel which are classic symptoms of this condition.It does ease off during the day but is a recurring problem.Having used the night splint for a couple of nights there has been a huge improvement when i get out of bed in the morning,yes i can still feel some slight discomfort and i don't expect the night splint to cure the issue on its own,but is far less severe and i can walk immediately without limping for an hour.I ordered the bigger size (mens) and was a bit worried it might not fit as i'm anything from a size 12 to 14 depending on the shoes and have quite wide feet but it fits perfectly.In use it doesn't feel uncomfortable,it is not designed to stretch the foot,but to hold it at 90 degrees and although it is quite bulky i have managed to sleep ok.I would recommend giving it a try if you have plantar fasciitis,for the price it's worth a go,i have seen the same night splint on other websites for well over twice the price and it appears to be very well made.

It is slightly bigger than expected. My feet are size 42. I thought the measurement was in US sizes which makes the ladies large 9.5+ size correct for me. But this ended up being too big. The bigness is not the issue, I can still wear it. Unfortunately the item arrived with the calf strap being cut in front. Instead of returning the product, I decided I would patch it up, which appears to be working fine.I am only recently suffering from plantar fasciitis (the last several months). I have read that it is best to conquer this as soon as possible. Consequently I am trying a number of different treatments, from icing to hot foot baths and stretching exercises. My brother and sister in law recommended a night splint and if used as soon as the condition appears, it will help alleviate and treat it quickly. Last night was my first night trying this product. I woke up in the middle of the night, and took the splint off as it was feeling slightly uncomfortable. I didn't feel any pain upon walking in the middle of the night. So in that instance it worked fine. I didn't put the splint back on, and felt only slight discomfort in the morning. I will persevere with the product and supply another update in a few weeks time.

I have had Plantar Fascitis for 2 years that was getting worse in my left foot. I tried most things, stretching exercises, physio, shockwave treatment, heel supports, and sock supports and massage balls and they all partially worked, then I tried this night splint as the massage balls and stretching gave me some relief and I thought this might do the same. Just 2 nights wearing it and NO MORE plantar fascitis, couldn't believe it . I could kiss the inventor. I am normally sceptical about these things but I thought hell, why not,they are pretty cheap and .I had seen enough YouTube clips about them. Being an old crock, I am now seeing what it will do for my sore Achilles in my right ankle. I would give it more stars if I could. I normally wore a sock and pyjamas with it to make it more comfortable at night.

Originally sceptical but this was the last resort. It is bulky and my foot doesn't sit flat in the splint ( which is irritating hence only four stars) unless i pull the straps so tight that I end up taking it off after a short amount of sleep. If I leave it so it is ok comfort wise, then in the morning I can still walk on my foot without so much pain...thank goodness! Not sure how much it will help long term yet.
