As one of the only therapy devices available to address plantar fasciitis during the daytime hours, the Swede-O Thermal Vent Heel Rite Support provides prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation for this painful condition. Simulating taping procedures typically applied for plantar fasciitis, the Heel Rites support straps lift the arch, facilitating compression for immediate relief. Its offered in two different sizes in a universal design to use with both the left or right foot to provide the proper fit and stabilizing support for every user. The heel support fits into most shoes with ease. Its durability and comfort are enhanced by binding tape sewn around the edges of the material.
Engineered with proprietary MVT (MicroVentilated Thermal Technology) to provide comfortable compression and warmth, this unique support has a micro-ventilated, breathable membrane to enable the free flow of air. The soft thermal lining captures and retains the user's natural body heat for efficacious therapy and pain relief. It is especially helpful for the daytime treatment of plantar fasciitis, applying unrivaled support to alleviate pain, swelling, and tension during the day when you need it most.
Soft and comfortable against the skin to wear all day to achieve the best therapy outcomes, the Swede-O Heel Rite assists in the prevention of soft tissue injury wear prior to, during, and after activity. It provides a natural and valuable complement to other therapy protocols, with the ability to be worn almost anytime and anywhere. It may help speed recovery, as it allows the wearer to continuously work toward overcoming injury caused by overuse or trauma more quickly, while it also increases comfort for the injured/affected area, relieving swelling and inflammation.
Because the warmth from this support makes tendons and muscles more pliable and elastic, its a wonderful aid in helping to rehabilitate injured tissues. The heat enables tendons and muscles to become more fully extensible and more responsive to exercise and therapy.
