Abstract

A compression apparatus including an expandable body (12) configured for disposal about a foot. A strap (22) extends from the body. The strap is configured for disposal about the foot adjacent an ankle. The strap has a first layer (26) configured to engage an outer surface of the foot adjacent the ankle, a second layer (28) and a third cushion layer (30) disposed therebetween. The body may include a metatarsal portion (44). The first layer and the second layer may be configured to provide a barrier to the third cushion layer. The first layer may be configured to prevent engagement of the third cushion layer with the outer surface of the foot.
