I have plantar fasciitis and I need a good all time brace? especially if I can wear in the water! suggestions
Ask your PT ..... ussualy braces are prescribed for chronic use, because they can lead to muscle weakness and a shortening of the tendon that cause more pain and problems.
Most of the time, a night splint is used to keep tension during sleep, but in the water, you should not need your foot to be stretched in this position.
Anyway, it's a good idea to talk to your physical therapist about the situation or to consult a podiatrist. They may need to work to help stretch your feet more but it isn't likely that you need a brace for all time.
why u need in H20?
Plantar really f. can not be cured by allowing it to heal by it to rest. How to prevent it once, it is better to get orthodontics, to stretch their legs, and the message the scar tissue of injury current heart so that the fibers of the fascia tissue return to their allignment Natural
