A system and method for non-surgical treatment of plantar fasciitis is disclosed. The system comprises a primary support strap split at both ends; a secondary support strap split at one end; and a cover support strap; wherein the straps are applied to a foot such that the combination of straps provides dynamic windlass support to the foot.
Compression foot garment, and therapeutic method for reducing heel pain
A compression foot garment is integrally knit of a body yarn, and adapted for wear on a foot of a user. The foot garment incorporates first and second high compression zones, and a compression release zone between the high compression zones. The first high compression zone is adapted for applying substantially circumferential compression to the foot below the plantar fascia between the calcaneus and metatarso-phalangeal joints and generally around the midfoot. The second high compression zone is adapted for applying substantially circumferential compression to the foot above the calcaneus and generally around an ankle of the user. The first and second high compression zones may comprise elastic yarns integrated with the body yarn. The compression release zone is adapted for applying reduced compression to the foot in an area between the first and second high compression zones.

The first band has a superior portion and an inferior portion. The garment also includes a plurality of lift bands extending from the anterior portion of the ankle band to at least the superior portion of the first band so as to provide a pull on the superior portion of the first band toward the anterior portion of the ankle band.
COMPRESSION FOOT GARMENT, AND THERAPEUTIC METHOD FOR REDUCING HEEL PAIN
A compression foot garment is integrally knit of a body yarn, and adapted for wear on a foot of a user. The foot garment incorporates first and second high compression zones, and a compression release zone between the high compression zones. The first high compression zone is adapted for applying substantially circumferential compression to the foot below the plantar fascia between the calcaneus and metatarso-phalangeal joints and generally around the midfoot. The second high compression zone is adapted for applying substantially circumferential compression to the foot above the calcaneus and generally around an ankle of the user. The first and second high compression zones may comprise elastic yarns integrated with the body yarn. The compression release zone is adapted for applying reduced compression to the foot in an area between the first and second high compression zones.
Pair of supportive socks for disorders caused by foot deformities
