Small Dual Foot Massager for Neuropathy - for Plantar Fasciitis Relief - Foot Roller for Foot Pain Relief | Feet Massager for Pain Relief and Circulation - Ideal Gifts for Mom

I'd noticed my feet were a bit sore, cramped, and seemed to be missing some blood-flow. I finally had time to examine the situation, and got a can of corn; put it on the floor and rolled my foot over the can. Great! There were various spots on the bottom of the foot that actually hurt when I did the rolling. But that went away, and I guessed I was dealing with trigger points, stress points, and muscle tightness. So I did more research, and read about the fascia. This fascia thing is what our body is made with. Some people call it connective tissue, others call it collagen. It's a sheath, a body filler and everything else. And we have a lot of it on the bottom of our feet. That fascia gets all kinds of knots, locks, bumps, and whatnot, and all that needs to be massaged out -- loosened. Learning this, I did the can of corn some more and lo and behold, I felt better. I'd been worried about that bit of pain, thinking I had a broken foot I didn't know about. No...just fascia trigger points. You really can't get these out by stretching the foot, wearing different shoes, or doing a typical foot rub. They really need to be rolled out. Just look up some videos on why people use foam rollers. Same problem, larger muscles. But a foam roller is too big for the bottom of your foot. Hence...a foot roller. The corn can slipped all over the place, making it hard on my legs as I tried to both roll my foot and keep the can in place. So, I went to Amazon and found a couple of different foot rollers. When I looked in Walmart, I also found a roller, but on the "wheel" part, it was very smooth. I knew it would slip. Then I looked more at Amazon models. I saw one with a sort of tread on the rolling wheel, and also ran across this product. The Theraflow was the same basic price point, but on the ends there's a base with a non-slip footing. Additionally, the rollers are more "bumpy," designed to get a better, closer and a little deeper massage. I was ready to buy that one. Then, in the "also looked at," I saw the same device, but with two rollers! Combined. With one for each foot, that roll independently, and at mostly the same price. First time using it, I immediately noticed how it didn't slip (on the carpet, by the couch). That made it a lot easier on my thigh muscles. Then I noticed how much of a better effect there was, as opposed to the can of corn. I'd gotten an email note with some tips from the company, when they got the order, suggesting going in opposite directions when using both feet. I did that, and it was perfect! Then I stood up...after about 15 minutes of just having fun, rolling my feet. Holy Cow! Suddenly I could feel my feet, I could feel the floor, I could feel the carpet, and I realized I walk funny! Over the past while, I've learned how to better balance myself on my feet, which also helps reduce knee pain. I sleep better, since my feet don't feel like they're in a pair gloves. And my feet don't get tired from walking through really big stores. All in all, this is a really superb little product, which doesn't cost a lot of money. But you get all the benefits of some expensive massage therapist. I'd wish for the rollers to maybe be another inch in diameter, just to make it a little more comfortable and somewhat easier to roll on. I've compared the size of the rollers to the can of corn, and there's a little bit of difference. It's not that big a difference, and the advantage of the smaller roller might be getting into the fascia, maybe. Whatever the case, I really like this product. I'm tempted to get a second one, just so I can sit on the couch and not worry about keeping my legs close together. After all, exercise should be comfortable, right? Right!

This is a great product, and in combination with compression socks like these "Plantar Fasciitis Ankle Brace - Shoe inserts for flat feet, Insoles, Inserts & Orthotics for Foot, Ankle Pain Relief for men, women, nurses", and stretching exercises have been the key to getting my plantar's under good control. But be advised that, for me at least, it wasn't any kind of overnight cure some people say they have. It's been doing these rolly-thingy's at least twice a day, wearing compression socks (with good shoes like Hoka One One's) , limiting time on my feet, and doing stretching exercises (when it gets bad). And doing it pretty consistently for several months! But now, at long last, I can do almost all of what I could do before this dreaded thing started! Back to this product: I tried several of the foam and freezing ones first, but this one seems to do the trick the best, with the least hassle, and the best results. I keep it by my bed and roll my affected foot twice a day, every day, once before my feet hit the floor in the morning, and once before going to sleep. They are pretty forceful, but it actually feels good after you get past the initial feeling of pain/discomfort, which for me was only a couple of times. Roll vigorously for about two minutes, and your foot should (if it's anything like mine) start to feel better, slowly but surely, over the next days/weeks/months. Best wishes, and good luck!!!!

I originally ordered this for my husband, he’s on his feet all day at work so he always has sore feet when he comes home. He loves it, it helps his cramping arches relax within a few minutes of use. He kept talking about how good it felt so I ended hp trying it myself, I can honestly say I don’t think he’s getting it back! Lol I’ll have to order a second one. My only complaint and reason for the 4 stars is that it’s not as stable as I was hoping it would be. I really like pressure on my heels and when you try to focus on then it can tip over on you pretty easily. I end up having to hold it steady with my other foot. Other than that my husband and I both love it.

About 3 years ago I played a game of basketball and felt my plantar fascia rip while wearing a compression sleeve that was way too tight when I went for a layup. This put me out of commission for a couple days. Ever since then I had chronic plantar fasciitis right in the middle of my right foot. I felt intense pain every morning with my first step and whenever I sat down for more than 10 min. I felt everything rip again every single day. I tried everything. Eventually I went to a podiatrist that gave me a foot insert that helped but didn't seem to cure the problem, only alleviated pain by giving support the arch of my foot. In my specific case, scar tissue was forming everyday in the relaxed position, which gets ripped whenever you flex the tissue. This flexing happens naturally every time you take a step. I bought this product and use it everyday constantly. This was coupled with stretches that targeted the plantar fascia. The specific ones I used were the stair stretch and hands against a wall stretch. After a couple months, I seemed to be cured! Now I'm not going to stop using it, because there's no reason to or inconvenience (just use it whenever you sit down). I think the constant breaking up of the scar tissue that formed when the plantar fascia is in the relaxed position finally allowed the tissue to heal properly where it does not get ripped in the flexed position. Give it time and remember to stretch everyday. It won't get cured overnight. All in all, great product.

First, I like that this is a simple, non-electric product. There are fewer parts to fail. It's just a pair of stubby but solid wooden cylinders over a metal rod all placed in a wooden frame. Although I wouldn't trust my entire weight on the device, I feel secure putting pressure on it. Several of the critical reviews mention this isn't as effective as a massage ball. I didn't pay much attention to this criticism but now that I'm using this device, I agree. The curvature of the ball allows more pressure on trouble spots. I've used my stubby massage balls on back, legs, neck and feet. The trouble is it tends to slide out--especially from feet. This device has stabilizing rubber feet, but I find it still slides about on my foam exercise mat or my office foam floor-squares. This limits how secure I can feel putting pressure on my feet. I'm using this at a standing desk. I suppose if you're sitting while using it you could use both feet to help stabilize the device. But it's not especially effective at a standing desk. I can't, for example, get the sides of my feet or my heel since the device tips over. A work-around might be to stabilize the device with my other foot, but this isn't a comfortable or stable position while standing. For the price, I'll keep the device to use as an exercise motivator at my standing desk. Every 20-minutes or so it's a reminder to move my legs to prevent soreness. But I won't be using it as a therapeutic aid for sore feet. For that, I'll keep using my slippery stubby massage ball.

I am amazed at how well this product works to relieve plantar fasciitis. I’ve been suffering from pain with Plantar Fascitis for about 3 months now. I went to the doctor about it and she gave me a script to get an X-ray to confirm her suspected diagnosis, I haven’t scheduled the appointment yet but decided to do some research and see if I can get some relief by doing exercises or so. The same day I ordered this, I went to the Tube and learnt of the pulling toes exercise that helps relieve the pain. I got some relief with the toe pulling exercise and once this came, I got much better results that I was able to exercise doing jumping jacks and rope jumping. I wasn’t able to do that before due to the pain and now everyday I try to run my feet on this little device in attempt to get rid of the pain once and for all. Initially, when I first used it, it was very painful but I heated through the pain and I’m glad I did because the relief I felt the next morning was priceless. I tried on my other foot that fine and noticed it was very annoying. I’ll have to bear through the annoyance to keep using it to prevent plantar fasciitis once I no longer have the condition in my left foot. I highly recommend this product and for the price it’s definitely worth a try. I recommend beating through the pain on the initial use as there will be pain if you’re current experiencing pain due plantar fasciitis.

My feet were killing me from some recent spring cleaning that I did foolishly in flip flops. I woke up the next day discovering I could barely walk because my feet hurt so much. So I started looking on google for relief- originally for foot spas or electronic foot massagers. The prices were higher than I expected and most had heat elements which upon other research seemed like the opposite of what I needed. Well, I stumbled upon this product and figured it was cheap enough, why not. I had pretty low expectations, but it is fantastic! It isn’t cheaply made and looks quite nice. And it feels great on my feet. I actually put it on my bed with me at night and use it there while I watch tv and relax before bed. And it really does help with the pain. It feels really good on your feet and you can concentrate on certain spots that are achy. Anyway, I don’t write many reviews. Usually only if I love something that surprised me and want others to know how great it is too or if something is terrible. If you are on the fence about this, definitely give it a shot! And I haven’t tried the single roller, but I almost bought that one and am so glad I didn’t and bought this one instead. Also, you can even use it on other parts of your body. I just started holding it and using one side for my calves and even my upper shoulders where I hold a ton of tension! Just when I didn’t think I could love this thing anymore. Highly recommend!

I have serious feet problems and after working 9 or 10 hour shifts I usually just want to cut my feet off but this roller has helped so much! I use it along with some acupressure balls to get the most relief and it works wonders. I didn't give it a full five stars because it does slip quite a bit on hard wood, I think the best flooring for it is carpet. If I try to do both feet at a time it usually slips right out from under me. Make sure to follow their recommended sitting position as well, my sister didn't and has been complaining about increased foot pain. I haven't done it in any other position so I'm not sure how accurate she's being for blaming her posture but I wouldn't take the chance. I'm so happy I made this purchase, it saved me hundreds of dollars in trying to find the "perfect" shoes.

I bought this product as an alternative to the vibit roller based on price. As above used a dozen times walking near without pain in my heel. Highly recommended!

It was well received. Bought two- one for me and the other for my mum. It’s a good buy. I use it when I work and it’s rather therapeutic. If you have sensitive soles, wear socks.

L'article est simple et fonctionnel. Malheureusement il grince un peu à l'utilisation, mais cela est aisément solutionné avec de l'huile technique.

Must buy

Great foot massager. Does as it says. My feet feel great after a long hard day of walking or being on my feet. Super relaxing. Gets right into your toes and my deformed feet really effective Doesn’t move when you use it with either one foot or both. #comfy #painerelief #sturdiness
