Customer Reviews

Really INTENSE ... in a good way!!
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!

Plantar Fasciitis Relief !
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.

helped my plantar fascitis
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.
