FREE SHIPPING

The Thermoskin Plantar FXT heated, soft night splint, is a treatment of heel pain, heel spurs and plantar fasciitis. The Thermoskin FXT soft night splint works by pulling the toes back slightly and comfortably. This stretches the plantar fascia and calf to speed healing. The Thermoskin Plantar FXT may also be worn during the day (while seated) to provide longer per day stretching treatment times. This may help speed up the healing process for Plantar Fasciitis. The Plantar FXT is much more patient friendly than other bulky night splints for plantar fasciitis, which makes it easy to use and more comfortable.

Only Thermoskin thermal Supports have been clinically proven to increase subcutaneous skin temperature 2-3 degrees F for the optimal level of heat therapy. Thermoskin's patented Trioxin lining creates a micro-climate that maintains elevated skin temperature while still allowing the skin to ventilate for long-term user comfort. The spiral structure of the Triokin lining lifts moisture away from the skin and traps air within the lining to help prevent excessive perspiration.

Strassburg Sock image The Thermoskin FXT is designed as a supplemental treatment for plantar fasciitis. Its purpose is to stretch the plantar fascia during the night, or at rest, to facilitate healing of the most common cause of heel pain, plantar fasciitis.

Each order is for one Thermoskin FXT night splint and a full color Heel Pain Pamphlet, which outlines step by step instructions on how to tackle your heel and arch pain.

THERMOSKIN FAQs
How does the Thermoskin Plantar FXT work ?
The Plantar FXT has a semi-rigid strap that pulls the toes upwards and places the foot into a slight dorsi-flexion position, stretching the plantar fascia at the arch. The thermal properties aid in decreasing inflammation and increasing passive stretching of the plantar fascia while sleeping.
How does the Plantar FXT help plantar fasciitis?
The Thermoskin Plantar FXT is designed to keep tension on the plantar fascia so it heals in a stretched position at night. When worn as prescribed the Plantar FXT reduces morning heel pain, reduces the need for medications and reduces total recovery time. By pulling the toes back, the plantar fascia is placed on stretch throughout the night. The Plantar FXT does not allow the plantar fascia to contract while sleeping.
plantar fascia relaxing when sleeping
When sleeping, the foot is in a relaxed, plantarflexed position. Initially, the achilles tendon, calf and the plantar fascia are in a relaxed position as well.
plantar fascia tightening during sleep
But, during the night as the foot remains in a plantarflexed position, both the calf and the plantar fascia contract and tighten.
plantar fascia tearing
In the morning, the plantar fascia is in this tightened, shortened position. When full body weight is placed on the foot, the fascia becomes overstressed and tears.
plantar fascia stretching
The Thermoskin Plantar FXT pulls the toes back, stretching the plantar fascia during the night. This prevents the fascia from contracting and tightening, helping to eliminate pain at the first step in the morning and facilitate healing.
What are the advantages of the "Thermoskin Plantar FXT " night splint?
  • Safe and easy to use
  • Added benefit of heat therapy
  • Does not lock the ankle joint into any one position.
  • Can be worn during the day, while seated or resting, for longer daytime treatments.
  • The Thermoskin Plantar FXT can be worn while sleeping and will not interrupt normal sleep if worn as directed.
  • It is an alternative to more expensive, rigid night splints.
  • It can reduce or even eliminate pain experienced with the first few steps in the morning.
  • Thermoskin Plantar FXT can supplement and not interfere with the various traditional doctor's treatment.

How do I figure out what size Thermoskin I need?
It is most important that the correct size of Thermoskin is worn to ensure effective treatment. You can choose Thermoskin Plantar FXT sizes by your shoe size. For further sizing, measure around your ankle and then check the Ankle sizes below on the Thermoskin size chart. Thermoskin products should be a comfortable fit, not too tight. If in doubt try the next larger size. Using the correct size of the Thermoskin is essential for effective results.
