| Comparing the Plantar Fasciitis FXT (FXT) to the Heel Seats... The Plantar fasciitis FXT has become an increasingly popular way to treat the discomfort of plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis FXT is intended to be a solution for those who want to effectively treat plantar fasciitis without interference in their everyday lifestyle. However, this form of treatment has both pros and cons and in some cases may cause more discomfort than it is intended to prevent. Plantar fasciitis FXT is very similar to night splints. This product is a type of bootie that is put on the foot and ankle. It is only designed to be worn at night time. Tension from a strap that extends from the toes to the ankle stretches the plantar fascia gently throughout the night, helping to reduce the effects of plantar fasciitis. Unlike many bulky night splints, plantar fasciitis FXT is generally more comfortable because it is lighter and thinner, making it more comfortable to wear during the night. However, even though it’s supposed to fit like a sock over the foot, it is certainly more noticeable and cumbersome than a sock. Despite its relative comfort over traditional night splints, plantar fasciitis FXT treatment still has its shortcomings. To begin with, this form of treatment can only be worn at night. During the day, when you are on your feet working, playing, and exercising, your plantar fascia is not receiving any relief or treatment from daily stresses. This is a significant flaw since plantar fasciitis FXT is not capable of providing treatment when you need it most! Additionally, plantar fasciitis FXT has another major disadvantage; cost. Although many comparable night splints cost significantly more, FXT still usually costs forty dollars and up. For a treatment method that only works a few hours a night, the amount of money needed for this treatment is questionable. Comfort is also a serious limitation with the plantar fasciitis FXT treatment. As already mentioned, this form of plantar fasciitis treatment offers greater comfort than many traditional night splints. However, despite its smaller and lighter size, this device can still become a nuisance. While trying to sleep, many plantar fasciitis sufferers find it difficult to wear since wearing this bootie at night takes quite a bit of getting used to. A simple alternative to the plantar fasciitis FXT is an orthotic shoe insert, such as HTP Heel Seats. HTP Heel Seats offer a much easier and effective solution to treating plantar fasciitis and related conditions of heel pain. First, HTP can be worn during the day, when you are on your feet, when you need it the most. Additionally, this treatment method can be easily inserted into any pair of shoes while it works effectively to re-stretch the plantar fascia ligament, and provide acupressure and structural support throughout the heel. Furthermore, HTP Heel Seats cost significantly less than plantar fasciitis FXT. The most important thing to consider when comparing plantar fasciitis FXT to HTP Heel Seats is its ability to treat plantar fasciitis. HTP has a clinically proven, 99.7% success rate among plantar fasciitis and heel pain sufferers, a claim that FXT cannot match. HTP Heel Seats are the easier, more user-friendly, and cost effective solution. Plus, its effectiveness and history of treating plantar fasciitis makes HTP Heel Seats a wiser choice of treatment. |
