Ankle night splints are very useful in managing lower limb problems. They provide a gentle stretch on the posterior lower leg muscles and tendons, allowing then to heal over night in a lengthened position.

Conditions that often require an ankle splint:

1. Plantar fasciitis
2. Achilles tendinopathy
3. Metatarsalgia 
4. Calf strains

 A support will commonly deactivated muscles slowly, so remember to build your muscles up.
