gaiam Restore Ultimate Foot Massage Roller

I use it all the time even if my planter fasciitis is not bothering me. Great exercise for your feet

I find this gentle enough to use for Plantars Fasciitis. I saw spiky balls advertised on amazon but I dont understand why people would risk tearing the fascia even more with such products. I also saw smooth balls but they didnt seem like they would break up that crunchy feeling of scar tissue build up that often occurs with pf. i love the perfect size of this ball. it is not expensive, seems non-toxic, is super easy to use and roll your foot on when you are seated -doesnt easily run away from you. It is super strong but has the nodules on it that shouldnt cause tears or be too aggrivating on existing tears while being able to work on the knots and scar tissue. I can feel the crunchy areas when i rub my foot over it applying very little pressure but just enough to break up the crunchies. It feels really good to rub my foot on it. I had severe pain walking all day long and after one day it using the ball and massaging my calf, it started to subside and within 2-3 days pain was gone. you can also stretch your toes and do calf stretches with this and rub your heel and sides of foot -your whole underside of your foot. i also used it against the door to break up knots in my shoulder that was super painful. Its good for hands, neck, too. easy to clean. Just great for trigger points and pf pain relief and keeping feet healthy to help prevent recurrence of pf and other trigger point pain. Love this small ball.Lastly, I wanted to say... dont stand on this or any other ball.... it doesnt seem like a good idea if you have pf as it might increase tears in the fascia why would anyone recommend that... but people do it.

Muy útil para corredores antes y después de un entrenamiento

This is brilliant. It has just a tiny bit of 'give' in it + really helps my dreadful feet (including plantar fasciatis)

Really like the size and feel of this ball. Most other massage balls are either too hard or spiky. This feels just right.
