Recover and Treat Pain Related to Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendonitis, shin splints, Foot Pain & Provide Rehab from Foot or Leg Injury with hot/Cold Massage Roller

I fell while rock climbing and shattered both of my heels. After being 100% unable to bear weight for so long, my doctor was very concerned at how weak my feet were and how tight my Achilles had become. I had been doing all of the stretches he asked, but they were not progressing. In desperation, I ordered this device. Before I could even stand up, I began stretching using this while sitting in my wheelchair. I'd put my foot on the incline and slowly roll forward until I felt the stretch. I'd hold for a minute, then switch to the other foot. I'd repeat this for about an hour every morning. I think this was the most beneficial although doing the other exercises using the bands were helpful too. After a few weeks using this, my surgeon was thrilled with the progress I had made. I began walking again and I know I walked sooner than I would have had I not ordered the Foot Gym. I'm so grateful for this product - I am still healing and using the foot gym in my journey to get back to 100%. This was a great investment.I will say, I never use the massaging piece of it as I have a couple of other foot massagers I like better. For me though, having the incline and the resistance bands are totally worth it. Thank you Foot Gym!

I tried so many things for my plantar fasciitis, including the shoe inserts that started tearing up the bottoms of my feet. I jettisoned the inserts and started using this for many hours a week under the theory that if my feet got strong enough, they'd stop freaking out about not having support. My rule was that i could play Civilization on the computer as long as I was using this thing, so....for a lot of days i would be using it for six hours or more. Now I'm at a maintenance level and can use it just one night a week, using the strongest band (which sadly does not come with the base unit...you have to order stronger bands from the manufacturer). This thing has been worth any amount of money to me.The only two exercises I use are hooking the band under my toes and stretching the band, and then working the top of my foot by hooking the band over my toes and bringing my toes up. At the beginning maybe warm up with the lightest band, then move up during your sessions as you can.

It felt so good to use this. I kept it under my desk and used it every day. I did all the exercises and then gradually I noticed my feet were getting more and more painful. Turns out even though it felt so good using it, my feet really didn't like it. I have an odd thing called Accessory Navicular Syndrome, both feet, which is having one navicular bone grown on top of another. They can do surgery but it's not always successful and its a real problem. Anyway if you have ANS you might not want to use this, otherwise I think 99% of feet would love it. BTW: they took it back and refunded me no problem.

I’m on my feet all day in customer service. My feet hurt a lot by the end of the day. I have plantar fasciitis. I’m also 315 pounds which doesn’t help the added pressure on my feet. When I get home it’s nice to sit on the couch & use the foot gym. I have been doing this daily for about 1 week now. I started noticing a difference after 6 days. I don’t have the severe pain I used to have. I’m hoping with more use the plantar fasciitis will get healed. The best part is using the blue roller at the end of my exercise session. I fill it with water & freeze it the day before. It’s a soothing reward to my feet & takes down the swelling. I totally recommend this product.

I checked after placing the order to be sure I would be able to get replacements for the bands if my dog gets ahold of one. The seller does not sell replacement bands. This is a drawback for me because inevitably things can get lost or ruined. I already know I can't keep it. So my review is based only on that one issue.

I usually have to perform all these exercises at physical Therapy for $20 bucks a session 5x20= $100.00 a week!! not anymore

The Foot Gym has been wonderfully helpful for my feet. I was concerned that the incline wouldn't be steep enough, but it is. I even felt the stretch all the way up to my hamstrings. I am so glad I chose this item to purchase! I am recommending it to everyone I know. It's super easy to use. The instructions were clear. Note: on the back of the instructions, it says you can put the resistance bands at an angle, so it's at the same angle as your toes and that is good. Also, I didn't even realize when I bought it that you can put water in the roller and freeze it, or you can put warm water in it. It feels really good just regular, though, so I didn't bother, but I think that is awesome. This company really knows feet!

Easily reconfigurable for doing multiple PT-style foot exercises using one device.The bands quickly reposition for left and right foot and different tensions.I've had problems in the past overexerting myself and causing more pain when using the standard "towel gathering" method for toe flexion. Calibrated bands eliminate the possibility of exerting too much isometric contraction. Much less likely to suffer a strain.Nice to be able to easily switch between toe extension, flection, and foot dorsiflexion without reconfiguring when doing a circuit for one foot.You do have to lean in and get your knee over the device to keep it from lifting when doing toe flexion or foot dorsiflexion. Not a big deal.The heatable/coolable roller is a nice addition.
