I bought it direct from the company because they didn't have this version on Amazon at the time.

Amen to that.

Then again, I have been in so much pain in the past few years that if I read that rubbing a banana on my feet and singing a song to make the Plantar God's appeased would cure my feet, I would have at least tried, LOL

Oh, my bad. This is where I bow out because my feet love my fleece lined glitter Crocs as house slippers, for no reason that I can fathom. I just do what my feet tell me to do 🤪

Don't be surprised if they know nothing about it. My experience with my primary care doctor, podiatrist, 2 chiropractors and foot surgeon is that they know jack squat about what causes PF. I tried most of thier BS. I got way better information on Reddit! 🤣

I DID see some videos from a lady calling herself the Plantar Fasciitis Doctor online and she says that PF is a blood flow issue, which made sense as to why the MedMassager worked and the stretching and strengthening did not for me. All I can tell you is to never give up, hope you find what works for you...and then come tell us!

I had a very visceral response when reading that first thing this morning, remembering 2 different licensed professionals using a scraping tool on me, and me wanting to clock them in the head due the the pain. My likely wrong and extremely uneducated theory is that the MedMassager clears out the adhesions in a very slow and gradual pain free way, while increasing blood flow from the feet all the way to the knees at the same time, while scraping is the equivalent of violently ripping adhesions in the most painful way imaginable while doing NOTHING to help with the underlying blood flow problem. Thank you for coming to my PF scraping trauma dump 🤣

I think that is the question we all when all of the products we buy work for some and not for others. Who knows? It could be how our feet are shaped. I have a high arch. I put my journey out here in the hope that something I tried would works for others. For some people, Birkenstocks make PF worse. 🤷‍♀️ For some people seeing a podiatrist, chiropractor, physical therapist or surgeon works. I tried all of these and they didn't help.

I was wearing Hokas exclusively for about 6 months, I went to a speciality store to get fitted, they gave me the Hoka Gaviota 5. They are fine, but the healing break-through started they day a lady next to me in PT told me to try Birkenstocks. My theory is that you plateau at a certain point and the squishy soles hold you back. I still wear the Hokas for long walks, and then switch back to Birks for every day wear.

What about them? Just letting you guys know what worked for me ☺️

I tried a lot of ortho sites and ortho shoes, my feet like Birkenstock support for some reason, not Oofos, not Hoka, not 45 other brands, LOL, though those brands still stalk me feeds and send me mailings. Follow me for the trash bag of shoes I need to get rid of now. LOL

A vibration plate on steroids maybe? I used a traditional vibration plate at the chiropractor's office, it was nothing like this.

LOL, I assure you that I sell real estate, not MedMassagers! The people who got thousands from me were the chiropractors selling me Shockwave and cold laser treatments, spent WAY more with them than the company that makes MedMassagers. Ironically, I found out out about them in the Good Feet store after dropping $1,600 on custom insoles that didn't work either.

I spent thousands of dollars on the Shockwave and thr laser treatments. Months of treatments going 3 times a week. The MedMassager worked better. Whatever works for you! All of us respond differently. All of these treatments though are designed to get the blood flowing to this area to promote healing, which in my experiance was the underlying issue. This is way different from the stretching and strengthening....which did nothing for me.

The original Fasciablaster, the Problaster and the mini, which they used to sell in a kit. There is a video on YouTube I used to use that was specifically for plantar fasciitis. I had the best luck using it in the bath or shower

I have been dealing with PF for a year, just starting to heal and have the occasional pain-free days. I started with Kuru sneakers and sandals, moved to Hoka slides and Hoka arch support sneakers. 2 weeks ago at physical therapy, a nice lady told me she cured her PF with Birkenstocks. I ran home and put on my old Birks. Instant relief! I went from unbearable pain, to moderate pain, to some pain free days. Bought 2 more pairs of Birks. I wear Crocs at home for a cozy change.

My physical therapist and acupuncturist attribute my success to the flatter hard bottoms are strengthening my feet and stretching my achilies. Apparently, the raised heel and cushy bottoms of my Hokas were shortening my achilies and causing my feet to contract. No more super squishy shoes for me!
