Chapter 2 page 364 - new heel toy

In my (what feels like) endless attempt for relief from my annoying and painful plantar fasciitis, I have purchased a new device to assist with stretching . . . (drum roll, 'cuz I know the anticipation is killing you!)

I got this foot rocker for only $13.53 at Amazon (with free shipping).  I've been looking at these since November 2009, but they are all $30 and that just seemed crazy expensive - but recently, I stumbled upon this one and thought - YES!  It arrived today - woot!  My puppy thinks it's a chew toy and spent at least 30 minutes using her big dog bark to "show it who's boss!" (so cute, but crazy!). 

I know several high school cross country runners who use it and love it - and when you think of me you most certainly think of a high school cross country runner!  NOT!  Ha!

So . . .have you had any luck with a stretching aide device?

  1. Uh... how does this thing work?!

    We are most definitely going to need a photo "how to" on this one.

    Yoga is my best stretching tool... hands down!

    That thing looks crazy! I've never used anything special to stretch. Good luck with it.
