Can I expect to feel any discomfort while wearing the Heel Seats?
Some discomfort may be felt when first putting on the Heel Seats. This type of discomfort can be characterized as a slight pressure or aching feeling between the heel and the arch of the foot. This occurs because our patented Fascia Bar rests in that area, which is also where the plantar fascia ligament attaches to the heel of the foot. When you move, the discomfort you feel is the Fascia Bar stretching the damaged plantar fascia ligament, thereby helping to strengthen the tissue and repair the injury. When wearing the Heel Seats you may also experience alternating bouts of pain, with noticeable pain on some days, while on other days there is no pain. This usually occurs in the first four weeks of wearing the Heel Seats as your feet are adapting to the treatment.
