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.

Powerstep protech full length orthotic supports Review

I have been a long time user of powerstep orthotics, primarily the Pinnacle brand. Recently I developed heel spurs most likely because I had gained significant weight. It was at that point I really wished Powerstep had an orthotic that had a cushier heel area, and low and behold they now do.
I also want to point out that while this is a nice touch for people who are healing a heel spur, it wasn't a cure all by itself. What ultimately fixed my problem was the addition of the Arch Boosters product. I have severely flat feet and the strain on my plantar fascia due to my having zero arch which in turn was causing my heel pain.
So to my fellow overweight, flat feet brethren, keep in mind that: Powerstep Protech's + Powerstep Arch Boosters = Magical plantar fascia heel pain relief.
