BESKARFoot Massager Roller for Plantar Fasciitis Relief, Portable, Deep Tissue Muscle Massage, Foot Arch and Heel Pain, Reflexology Tool

I'll never use a tennis ball again. This is the nicest roller I've ever used for plantar fasciitis. I used the golf ball (horrible) then the tennis ball (nicer than the golf ball) but this roller wins hands down. When you're suffering from a flare up it's no fun but this stays in place unlike a ball that tends to easily roll away from you as you're cussing from the pain and now having to try and retrieve your ball. You can relax in your chair and apply light pressure then work up to eye crossing pressure, as hard as you can stand. The rubber nodules are a nice touch, they're great for breaking up the scar tissue and loosening up that pesky tendon that causes you so much pain, limping and sometimes need for a cane. I'll use it as needed throughout the day depending upon what I'm doing. Sometimes I'll go a week without using it. Then I have to do yard work or walk at a park then I'm looking forward to coming home and crossing my eyes using this little roller. It hurts when you really dig in but that's what my doctor said that tendon needs and he's right, it always helps. I can always stand and walk better after using this little thing.

I have suffered on and off with plantar fasciitis for years. I have taken meds, paid for orthodics, gotten shots in my heels, purchased new boots too often, even replaced my insoles every 6 months, all of that made little to no difference and cost sheet tons of money. My doctor told me to stretch my arch by rolling a ball or can, and to not let my foot touch the floor in the morning before stretching or in a supportive shoe. Of course I'm stubborn and thought it was wives tale BS that stretching would make a difference. Well after all else failed and many years of stupidly self inflicted agony, I broke down and spent $10 on this simple roller. I started stretching my arch by sitting on the side of the bed first thing in the morning and putting slight pressure on the roller over my arches about 20 times back and forth on each foot. It takes about 3 whole minutes a morning. Then I put on my house shoes and walk through my morning routine. Well I'm here to tell you, I was a fool for thinking this simple roller and that simple short technique not change everything. I'm astounded at how effective this roller is. This one is made of quality plastic material and has enough texture to assist with rolling the foot and massaging the arch. It rolls straight and it doesn't seem to walk side to side uncontrollably which I can imagine how a lessor design might do, and that could be frustrating to use. This is easy to use, takes very little time and is far more effective than other methods. If you suffer from a similar problem, get this and do that. You won't regret it at all.

It's a sturdy item and the size is perfect for the arch of my foot. But, I haven't found that it has helped my plantar fascitis. I'll give it more time and see how it goes.

For reference I tried the boots and a massage ball thing. The ball moves around too much to use seated at a desk hands-free. The boots put pressure points on the bottom of my feet and they're obviously difficult to sleep in; they also just didn't feel like they were doing much.This roller thing works amazingly well. I can use it while seated at my desk; it stays in place enough to use without having to touch it with your hand. You can dig in with different parts of your foot. And, for my plantar fasciitis, my biggest issue was that it needed to be stretched out. It's funny because this is by far the least expensive option and it worked the best.To fix my plantar fasciitis all I did was wear Nike Air Max shoes in the house at all times combined with Dr.Scholl's Plantar Fasciitis Pain Relief Orthotics inserts. When I'm at my desk working I take off a shoe and roll my foot out for a few minutes at a time with this roller. That's it. Before I started I was limping bad and had trouble walking; I was in significant pain. After a few hours on the FIRST DAY I saw a huge improvement (it hurt to massage out, but in a good way). By day 3 of following this routine my pain was now minor enough to no longer be a huge issue. I did not take any medications (I cannot take NSAIDS).I got into this situation by not wearing shoes on my tile floor or using my sandals. I'm in a hot climate, so I tend to fall into this habit. Don't do it if you're prone to plantar fasciitis; it's not worth it. Just keep wearing your shoes and try to roll your feet out and stretch them as often as is feasible.

I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot. My brother who is a physician and a runner who has dealt with plantar fasciitis himself recommended a “spiked ball” which I found online and ordered. At the same time I found the Beskar Foot Message roller online and ordered it as well. The box arrived with nothing but paper which appeared to be from a customer who returned the box without returning the device. My guess is the company did not inspect the returned box and shipped it to fulfill my order. Because I had received the spiked ball, I requested and received a refund and left a one-star review. Beskar customer service offered to send me a replacement device at no charge. I received the replacement quickly. I’m glad to have it! It is easy to use and more effective than the ball. I appreciate Beskar’s generosity, good customer service, and quality device.

Mine arrived looking a bit used but it's not a big deal because the only thing touching this thing will be my feet. I have extra wide feet and this roller fits them perfectly fine. Love the colour! I have occasional foot pain and more often ankle pain. I'm mostly using this roller "for fun" and movement while sitting at my desk. It doesn't cause pain to my feet and feels like a little massage. I imagine this would be helpful for it's intended purpose of helping to soothe plantar fasciaitis. It's also very lightweight!
