The Strassburg Sock is easy to use, inexpensive, and is designed to keep tension on the tissue (plantar fascia) so it heals in a stretched position at night.
The device consists of a tubular knit material that fits "over the calf" with two attached adjustable straps to maintain the foot in a neutral to slightly stretched position. When worn at night the device will apply a force which results in the reduction and/or elimination of the pain felt during those first steps in the morning.
