ProStretch Review

Wow!
To say I was underwhelmed would be, well, an underwhelming understatement.
This tool is VERY sturdy, made of rigid plastic. It's very well made.
And, it DOES do a VERY good job of stretching the calf.
HOWEVER, anyone giving this thing glowing reviews isn't/hasn't been a competitive athlete. Why?
YOU CAN GET EXACTLY THE SAME STRETCH - IF NOT DEEPER - doing standard hamstring and calf stretches leaning into the wall.
THIS IS WHY I'm under whelmed. It's no different than doing standard static stretches.
As for plantar fasciatis relief, which I was hoping for, it SUCKS for stretching the fascia. The instructions read, "The plantar fascia is stretched by default when doing the exercises."
Seriously, YOU'RE MUCH, MUCH better off just grabbing your foot in one hand, and pulling your toes/ball of your foot up HARD, and holding your heel in the other to stretch your plantar fascia.
Again, it's a well made device. But I've returned it; because I have enough stuff lying around that serves no real purpose other than someone thought of way to make something to fix a problem that doesn't exist.
Good luck.

I was hoping to relieve some tension and sore spots but the plug is not recessed and can be felt. Also it would have been nice to have some simple instructions without purchasing the whole book. I got the 2 balls with a pump in a plastic bag, probably could have found similar at the dollar store.
