The Best Night Splint for Runners

A tight Achilles tendon can cause a variety of problems for runners. A night splint is a brace that is supposed to help stretch a tight Achilles tendon by holding the foot in a corrected position while you sleep. 

A night splint is often recommended to runners when they get plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis. 

But there actually is a brace that I think is really much better than a night splint. It is not actually a night splint, but it is something called the “Equinus Brace.”
