Plantar Fasciitis Braces – Heel Pain Relief

Plantar Fasciitis Braces for Heel Pain Relief

Plantar fasciitis can present as sharp heel pain first thing in the morning or as a persistent ache that worsens throughout the day. The condition occurs when the plantar fascia – the thick band of tissue supporting the arch – becomes irritated or overloaded. 

While insoles and physiotherapy play an important role in treatment, a plantar fasciitis brace can provide targeted support to reduce strain, relieve pain and protect the tissue as it recovers. Whether you’re managing early-stage symptoms or long-standing plantar fasciitis, the right support can make daily movement more comfortable.

How Bauerfeind Plantar Fasciitis Braces Help

Our plantar fasciitis supports are designed to:

• Reduce tension on the plantar fascia during walking and standing
• Improve circulation through medical-grade compression
• Relieve heel pain and arch strain
• Support recovery during daytime activity or overnight rest
• Limit movements that may aggravate inflammation and delay healing

Whether you’re dealing with morning stiffness or ongoing heel pain, Bauerfeind offers both daytime compression supports and night splints engineered for effective, practical relief.

Engineered for Daily Comfort

Each Bauerfeind plantar fasciitis brace is designed with long-term wear in mind and features:

• Anatomical shaping for a secure, non-slip fit
• Breathable compression knit to help manage swelling and support circulation
• Supportive pads or splints where required to unload the heel and arch

These design elements allow you to stay mobile during the day while providing the plantar fascia with the stability it needs to recover.
