In people who belly sleep (i.e. prone) or on their side, the foot or feet are forced into a ‘pointing downward’ (i.e. equinus) position. With this there is an inevitability of calf stiffness (especially the Gastrocnemius muscle). There is a linear association with how tight the gastrocnemius is and how much pain is caused by the first step out of bed in the morning. The Foot pillow works to position the foot so it doesn’t point downward (equinus), thus reducing the stiffness and reducing the pain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnsure which Pillow is right for you? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSmall:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for users with feet smaller than UK size 9.

The foot is therefore not forced into the downward pointing position and therefore prevents the calf muscles (especially Gastrocnemius) shortening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCustomer feedback suggests:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCan improve heel pain \/  Achilles pain \/ Plantar fascia pain \/ Forefoot overload\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCan improve calf tightness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCan improve running tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCan improve night sleep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePatent protected. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFurther viewing and information from: \u003cspan style=\"color: #404040;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#0042aa\"\u003eProf. Lyndon W.
