I am a professional manual therapist with over 20 years of experience with injury rehabilitation.

Because of the design of this product, I find it nearly useless. It has three protruding rings that are spaced too far apart. So when you roll it under your foot, you get a line of pain in your sole, because the pressure is too focused. If the product was narrower, the pressure would be dispersed more effectively. Maybe if your feet are size 20 or larger, this product may work.

You would be far better off buying a plastic spiky ball or yellow practice golf ball to roll out your soles. For working out specific areas of tension, go with the golf ball.

Great for foot cramps! I think it would benefit from having rubber wheels though, or at least some kind of covering that helps make it not roll away from you while you're using it. I use mine on a mat though, but I've heard some people say that using it on a wood floor isn't the greatest. But all that aside, it really works out the kinks, and it's a cinch to use, and you can regulate how hard or soft you want the pressure. It's a simple device, but better than the tennis ball I was using by far.

I bought the Footwheel because I have plantar fascitis, it seems to be helping as I have not had a reoccurrence since I started using it.

I used this device for a week and a half 2-3 times a day and my injury was gone. I truly believe in its great use.

Helpful following exercise to relieve soreness and to massage areas that are hard to reach.

I wear a women's 8 shoe. I swear by this product. I love it, and my 93 year old grandma loves it. She walks perfectly fine - in wedges - because this product loosens the muscles in her foot and the discs get deep between the bones. It is only painful because your foot muscles are tight.

I like this my feet are often sore, since I am in the Army, currently deploye to Iraq and just having completed a marathon here, this is nice and helps work out the barking dogs.

I own three 'sticks,' a trigger wheel and a foot wheel. All of these products are wonderful and have helped me run 23 marathons/ultras and counting...

It works great for my Plantar Factitious. Put it on a towel to keep it from rolling away from you.

I was really hoping this would help with my plantar fasciitis, but I'm very disappointed with it. I'm a huge fan of The Stick, but this is not great. It actually hurt my feet even if I rolled them gently on it. I'm not sure if it's because I have small feet (women's size 6.5), but it doesn't feel good on my feet. I'm sticking to the golf ball for now.
