TheraFlow 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.

It is comfortable to use. Use for both feet at same time.

When I found my daughter using a glass jar under her desk to roll her foot I went on here to find a better option. These rollers are much smaller than the jar and are not really great for reaching your arch but she uses it more as a fidget thing while studying. Seems pretty durable and it was worth the money but as far as a massage the rollers are pretty small. So if you are looking for more of a flat foot massage then this would work for you. As far as a fidget it helps to keep your feet moving while sitting.
