Key Features The Fasciitis Fighter should always be used under the guidance of your health care professional as individual loading parameters will vary. High load strength training is a evidence based active approach focused on strengthening while placing some load on the plantar fascia tissue and calf muscles. This exercise performed over a three month period or more may help the plantar fascia tolerate the load of day to day activities and improve pain levels in persistent plantar fasciitis. Research has shown: High-load strength training may aid in a quicker reduction in pain and improvements in function in sufferers of plantar fasciitis Rathleff et al 2014 ''A simple progressive exercise protocol performed every second day, resulted in superior self reported outcome after 3 months compared with plantar specific stretching '' Rathleff et al 2014. How to Use Rathleff et al 2014 showed superior result applying a specific plantar fascia loading exercise with the use of a rolled up towel to just stretching. The Fasciitis Fighter is a product that helps you effectively complete this specific strengthening program. It allows you to consistently complete the strengthening exercise without the hassle of having to roll up a towel. Dimensions A double length version (30cm) of the original Fasciitis Fighter to allow two bilateral foot exercises to be performed. ROUND 2 A double length version (30cm) of the original Fasciitis Fighter to allow two bilateral foot exercises to be performed. The Fasciitis Fighter was designed by a physiotherapist to remove the time and hassle with having to regularly roll up a towel to the correct shape to perform specific plantar fascia strengthening exercises. Using the Fasciitis Fighter the big toe is placed into an extended position to place some stretch on the plantar fascia (using the windlass mechanism). In this position calf raises are then performed which places a controlled load through the plantar fascia tissue. This progressive loading over at least twelve weeks may help tissue capacity and load tolerance in the plantar fascia which may help pain levels in persistent plantar fasciitis.

Key Features Adjustable: This multi-functional decline board is adjustable to five positions: 15°, 20°, 25°, 30° and 35°. A recent study of rehabilitation programs for elite volleyballer players with jumper's knee found that using the Decline Board produced superior strength gains and improvements in tendon pain compared to a standard squat program (2). How to Use The POW.R Decline Board is a premium injury prevention tool recommended by physiotherapists. Multi-Use: Not only helpful for stretching before/after work out, but also beneficial to the body recovery from plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon injuries, shin splints, calf strains and other foot and ankle injuries and pain. Solid construction: 1.9cm thick wood with anti-slip safety treads. Measured 16" (deep) x 12.5" (wide) x 12" (high). Includes (2) built-in side handles for portability. Easy to put out of sight when not in use. The Decline Board allows far greater specificity in rehabilitating tendon injuries around the knee and ankle. When performing a standard squat, calf tension and excessive trunk flexion can often act to unload the knee extensors (quadriceps). Over time, specific weakness of the quadriceps muscle-tendon unit is considered to increase susceptibility of injury to the knee extensors to be loaded maximally. The Decline Board allows targeted strengthening of the knee extensors to achievable in a standard squat, and is a valuable tool in rehabilitation and strengthening of the knee extensor mechanism.

Key Features Super Comfy & Supportive Arch Support Thongs Designed By Podiatrists Prevents Tired Aching Legs ReVIVE™ Foam Soft Cushioning DESIGNED BY AN AUSTRALIAN PODIATRIST Lightfeet Arch Support Flip Flops have been designed and owned by Australian Podiatrist, Dan Thomas since 2006. His extensive knowledge in foot mechanics, has led to the Lightfeet range of therapeutic, soft and fashionable Arch Support Flip Flops. SOFTER DENSITY Lightfeet Arch Support Thongs have a softer density than competitors. The soft footbed offers greater cushioning and instant comfort without jeopardising durability. REDUCED ARCH IRRITATION The arch contour of the Lightfeet Arch Support Flip Flops is specifically designed to cradle the entire surface area of the underside of the foot. Some competitor thongs are designed with gaps under the arch contour, which can potentially create irritation, discomfort and blisters. How to Use WIDER FOOTBED Lightfeet offers a wider footbed than competitors. This allows for a more generous fit for customers with a slightly broader foot without having to stretch the toe post and straps. DEEPER HEEL CUP Lightfeet Arch Support Flip Flops offer a deeper heel cup than most competitor brands in the market.A deep heel cup helps maintain foot alignment, helping relieve ankle, knee, hip pain.It also helps with remaining stable on your Flip Flop. Sliding off the side of has been flagged as an issue with some other brands. Material Made From Recycled Materials MADE FROM RECYCLED MATERIALS EVA takes 150 to 200 years to breakdown in landfill. We take the EVA offcuts from factory production and recycle them for our Lightfeet Arch Support Thongs. Our unique process of repurposing EVA from offcuts prevents unnecessary waste and materials going to landfill so you can feel good in mind and body by helping reduce waste with every step. Dimensions TOE POST LENGTH Clinical research shows that one of the main areas for irritation and potential blisters is due to the length of the toe post. The length of our Lightfeet toe post is set at a slightly higher height. This specific height easily holds the Flip Flop to your foot, but we know will cause less irritation, rubbing and potential blisters than other brands. FIRST RAY DROP OUT Unlike competitors, Lightfeet Arch Support Flip Flops have a first ray drop out to help increase the performance of the Windlass Mechanism. The windlass mechanism describes the efficiency the foot to support the body and absorb shock during weight- bearing activities. By providing a first ray drop, Lightfeet Arch Support Flip Flops are assisting the plantar fascia to function correctly, and therefore helping relieve pain associated with plantar fasciitis.
