 Plantar Fasciitis Relief ! Feb 27, 2009
By Douglas Martin
I've been suffering with plantar fasciitis for several months now and have tired all sorts of shoe insoles and meds, but nothing has really helped. Every morning I get serious pain in my heal and throughout the day as well. I finally came to the conclusion that the pain in my heal is due to cramping in the surrounding tissues. Basically, it feels like there's a lump the size of a 50 cent piece deep in there and its really painful. Like with most muscle cramping, the best most immediate relief is to massage the affected area, but how do you massage the bottom of your foot ? Its not easy, and not only is it awkward, its hard to get enough pressure with your hands to do any good. On a hunch I decided to purchase the Happy Company foot roller thinking that I may be able to use it to deeply massage that area. I knew I wanted something with hard rubber nubs and from what I read in the reviews this foot roller has some.
From the first time I tried the roller it worked great! I place it under my computer desk and while I'm surfing the net I grind away at my heal. I can honestly say it has helped reduce my PF pain significantly, almost to the point where it feels normal again and that's saying a lot. I've only been using it a week and can tell you that I haven't had any more painful lumps in my heel and there is little discomfort in the morning, whereas I used to have to practically crawl on the floor after getting out of bed. If you suffer from PF like me, then I urge you to give this foot roller a try, its working for me!
My only concerns are that the rods that hold the wheels are wood dowels and I'm concerned that I could break them if I use too much pressure in the middle of the roller so I use the rollers near the end blocks where it's the strongest, also, it squeaks a bit so using it at work could be a bit disturbing to others.

Really INTENSE ... in a good way!! May 28, 2008
By Dog MaMa
My yoga instructor says that the quickest way to get a full body massage is to rub your feet - because pressure points in the feet represent every part of your body (inside and out). I had heard that this foot & body roller was really intense and I am here to say - YES- it is! This thing is like having a professional massage session - my whole body felt more alive after I used it! I keep it under my desk and when I get tired from sitting in front of the computer all day I just kick off my shoes - WOW - this thing is better than drinking a Red Bull!

helped my plantar fascitis Aug 09, 2008

I find this a little uncomfortable to use, but it does help relieve the pain I have from my plantar fascitis, so that is worth a little temporary discomfort. Nothing else I have tried except visits to a physical therapist has helped in the slightest, so I consider this a worthwhile purchase.

THE BEST non-electric foot reflexology roller ever! Aug 09, 2009
By Jennifer Farley
"Love Commando"
I became addicted to foot reflexology over a decade ago when I briefly lived in Asia. I like my reflex nodes to be a bit bruised and I manage to destroy all the electric $1-$300 versions eventually. Anyway it is a little-held belief but I think macerating the soles of ones feet as aggressively as possible except by torture is a great way to unlock all sorts of blocked energy channels and therefore preventative healthcare. I bought several styles of foot rollers and pressure point widgets but this is by FAR my favorite.

 Feels good but... Feb 27, 2009
By shirokuma
Mine broke the first day. I don't think I was being rough with it. I was just sitting on the couch and had one foot on the massager and was only applying a little pressure. Now I am 6' 2" and 190 lbs, so your mileage may vary. It does feel great, so instead of returning it I'm going to replace the 1/4" wood dowels the rollers are mounted on with steel rods.
