Abstract: A dynamic orthotic support (1) for the management of plantar fasciitis has a sock (3) with a sole portion (7) formed from a resilient material. The sole portion is shaped such that, when worn, lines of tension are initiated in the sole portion that act to urge a wearer's foot into a closed position. At least one resilient reinforcement panel (15, 17, 19, 21) may be attached to the sole portion.

Abstract: A compression garment, for example a pair of compression shorts (10, 210, 310), has a trunk section (20), a left leg section (30) and a right leg section (40) constructed from a resilient material. The trunk section (20) is reinforced such that a wearer's pelvic region is subjected to a first compressive force acting diagonally across a front portion of the trunk section from left to right and a second compressive force acting diagonally from right to left. The range of motion at the wearer's hips is preferably not restricted by the reinforcement.
