"After 3 weeks, my morning first out of bed heel pain is reduced to a slight tingling. I am at level 3, but will continue the exercises to maintain strength in my foot. Thank you. Most other tennis players claim it took much longer to recover and I was fearful I might be in for a long haul."
Luke Ferdinands, physical therapist, designed the Loft 2 Brace. Mimicing the professional tape job he gives to his patients with foot pain, the Loft 2 reduces the load on the plantar fascia, gives you immediate pain relief and protects the sensitive tissue while you stay active. Here's how - and why - the Loft 2 Brace works.
"Alleviate is a one-stop shop for pain relief and long-term results. Patients can self-release and self-manipulate tissue, using physical products. The instructional exercise videos are both informative and effective, and housed in an app that visually depicts a patient’s progress over time. It's a no-brainer!"
We're reinventing physical therapy with the Alleviate Method. It's the gold standard of physical therapy, without the traditional roadblocks. See how they compare:
PTTD* occurs when the tendon connecting the calf muscle to the inside of the foot (called tibialis posterior) gets overloaded and becomes inflamed or damaged. This vital tendon supports the arch of your foot, and when it weakens or tears, you can experience pain, swelling, and collapsed arch. PTTD can make everyday activities like walking or standing painful and difficult.
Given the root cause, the first order of business with PTTD treatment is to unload the injured tendon so it can heal. The gold standard of physical therapy - now available as an at-home solution through the Alleviate Method - combines multiple treatment methods to resolve the root cause of this condition.
*We refer to PTTD (Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction) with a few different names: Posterior tibial tendinitis/tendonitis, tibial tendinopathy, flat foot or flatfoot, overpronation, collapsed arch, Acquired Adult Flatfoot Deformity (AAFD), and more.
Each tool in the PTTD System specifically targets the root causes and debilitating symptoms of PTTD. Working together, these tools take you beyond temporary relief like a skilled PT.
Use the comprehensive System to follow the gold standard of physical therapy treatment for Posterior Tibial Tendonitis (PTTD).

Pull the Loft 2 Brace's Power Strap across your foot and reduce the load placed on your arch. It relieves pain and protects the tissue while you stay active as you heal.
Wear the Loft 2 Brace even for the sweatiest of activities. The breathable brace is machine-washable. Wires knit into the fabric keeps it low-profile yet supportive.
Start with the gentle, low peak and incorporate the sharper high peak as you progress. Use the sides to reach where balls, bottles and other massage solutions simply can't.
Dimpled surface creates just enough friction to effectively realign the tissue. Fold-out legs keep the massager in place. Fold them in, and toss it in your bag for on-the-go relief.
