ABSTRACT:
An elastic footwrap for treating plantar fasciitis by relaxing and shortening the musculatures of the foot. The footwrap is made of elastic material having a body and an arch support. Both the body and the arch support are generally rectangular. The body covers the top and bottom of the foot and has an ankle opening and toe openings. The ends of the body are secured at the heel so that a predetermined compressive force is exerted along the bottom of the foot when the footwrap is in operative position on the foot. The arch support is positioned perpendicular to the body. The ends of the arch support are secured on the top of the foot so that the arch support envelopes and supports the arch when the footwrap is in operative position on the foot.
