Aircast AirHeel™ in the Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Pain

The Plantar fascia is a fibrous sheath, located on the sole of the foot. It attaches between the heel bone and the bones at the base of the toes, covering the small muscles in the sole of the foot.

Plantar fasciitis refers to inflammation of the Plantar fascia, usually at the point where it attaches to the heel bone. This can cause a great deal of pain when walking and can completely prevent someone from running. At last there is a solution to this problem.

What is the Aircast AirHeel™?

By applying compression to the heel and the arch of the foot, the AirHeel™ relieves strain on the area under the heel that is commonly affected by Plantar Fasciitis. It does this by reducing strain on the Achilles tendon and the Plantar Fascia. This can give instant relief to those suffering with Plantar Fasciitis.

The AirHeel™ is made of lightweight neoprene fabric and is simple to apply - just slip it on like a sock and adjust the fit with one strap. It is also very comfortable to wear. The two interconnected air cells under the arch of the foot and in the back of the heel provide compression and support with every step.

In many cases of Plantar Fasciitis, the foot 'over pronates', where the inner arch of the foot rolls over too much during walking and running. This can lead to tightness in the Achilles tendon and recent research has suggested that a tight Achilles tendon can increase strain on the Plantar fascia. The AirHeel™ relieves this strain.

Who uses the Aircast AirHeel™?

The AirHeel™ is not just for high level athletes. It's effective in relieving the symptoms of heel pain in anyone who has Plantar fasciitis, general heel pain or Achilles tendon problems.
