First we should start be discussing what Plantar Fasciitis
is. It is the most common cause of heel
pain. The Plantar Fascia is a flat band
of ligament that connects your heel bone to your toes. Its primary purpose is to support the arch of
your foot, which is why Plantar Fasciitis is such a common injury in
runners. When you strain your planter
fascia, it tends to get weak, swollen, or inflamed. (1)
The result is a
terrible pain on the bottom of your foot or heel that hurts when you stand or
walk. For severe cases, a walking boot might be required as part of a recovery
plan.
Plantar Fasciitis sleeves are designed to provide
compression to relieve the often excruciating pain and discomfort associated
with Plantar Fasciitis. They can also be
useful in pain associated with Achilles tendon and stress fracture
injuries. The sleeves offer support and
improve circulation, which will help you heal faster and get back to your
training.
The Peak
Power Sports Plantar
Fasciitis Sleeves are comfortable enough to wear all day
long, but have enough support and compression to help with foot pain or just
speed up your recovery after hard workouts or runs. The construction and materials are good
quality and the price is decent. You get
a pair (2 sleeves) for $16.95 on Amazon. I don’t have Plantar Fasciitis, so I can’t
speak to how well they help with that pain, but I felt the difference when I
wore them after my long runs and intervals.
My feet felt fresher the next day, which I was impressed with. I would assume they would be great for
Plantar Fascia pain as well. I tested
the SLS3 Plantar Fasciitis Sleeves a while back and feel like the Peak
Power Sports version provides a little more support. It is also cheaper by $2.04.
