PLANTAR FASCIITIS

This prescription provides a simple device to offload the plantar fascia. The Plantar Fascial Accommodation allows the plantar fascia to sit comfortably within the arch of the device and any rearfoot correction can be applied based on the needs of the foot to further offload the fascia. Consider a rebound top cover for more pronounced cushioning.

FOREFOOT PAIN (EG. MORTON'S NEUROMA) 

This accommodative style prescription in combination with a met dome encourages the metatarsals to splay, reducing compression between the mets, which often contributes to forefoot pathology.

LATERAL FOOT PAIN (EG. PERONEAL TENDINOPATHY)

The modifications within this prescription provide support for the lateral column while facilitating first ray function to offload structures such as the peroneal tendons.
