It's not made of neoprene like the one I have. The mesh is heavy and the straps are thick. I believe it makes it far more durable than neoprene, which "gives" under pressure and thus provides a better stretch.
Yes, for the calf muscle; this primarily stretches the calf muscles, which contributes to plantar fasciitis in those of us who suffer from it. Although I'm not sure about the ankle, this device stretches mostly in one direction (pulls towards you), so it will pull your ankle in one direction at least.
It was just a single item that I got.
This item is intended for manual use only and is not intended to help with stretching while sleeping. The "Plantar DR," I believe, is the item you're looking for.

If you suffer from plantar fasciitis, I'm sure you've devised a daily routine of stretching and strengthening exercises for your arch and leg muscles. br>br>However, there are times when you are simply in a lot of pain and despair. This is what you use in those situations (as well as for routine maintenance)! br>br>It allows you to stretch in a way that is similar to several others, but in a way that is easy to hold and do mindlessly. This stretch is great because I can do it while watching TV and it helps to keep my pain at bay for a long time. br>br>It's not a good idea to do dorsiflexions with this (as you would with a Theraband) because there's no elasticity and you'd have to move your hand in an inconvenient way. However, it makes no difference because what this accomplishes is extremely beneficial. br>br>In my experience, pro-crastination is more useful than a challenge board. Stretching, Theraband, wedges, or TigerTail are all options. I use them all, but this is the one I'd take on a trip with me. br>br>Best of luck!.
I really like how this stretcher allows me to pull back on my toes - It appears to be the only thing that stretches my plantar fasciitis properly. I could pull back on the ball of my foot all day with a yoga strap, but it made a huge difference once I got this strap and could bend my toes back as well. My physical therapist friend also advised me to stretch by turning my foot/leg slightly inward - That advice, combined with the use of this stretching strap, has provided some relief! This book comes highly recommended.
Another last-ditch effort to relieve the pain in my feet? Maybe, but so far it's paid off! I've only had it for two days, but I'm already in love with it! I bought two, one for each foot, and I did both at the same time, stretching not only my arches but also my calves. I simply sit in my recliner, turn on the television, and work both feet at the same time. I am acutely aware of the stretch and am combative in my approach. My feet have never felt so good. It appears to be well-made and long-lasting. I have an 11 1/2-size foot, and this shoe fits me perfectly and would also fit a much larger foot. I wish I had known about this a few months ago when my feet were in excruciating pain; it would have greatly aided me. I would strongly suggest it!.
Plantar fasciitis has plagued me for years, causing me a great deal of discomfort. Several factors have aided me over the years. This is a fantastic design with excellent execution. It's the best. I can use the velcro strip around the ankle to secure it to the ankle, then stretch the offending muscles while watching TV. Because you can stretch for a few moments and then just relax the leg, this is a better way to stretch the muscles. As a result, you can alternate between stretching and relaxing. Because the healing process will take months, you can do a little every day without overdoing it. doing- You'll want to alternate the stretch on both sides, of course.
Because I just got it the other day, I can't comment on its durability. I over - It was used for the second time, and I am now paying for it. So, go slowly and gently, and don't pull too hard. On my days off, and only a few at first, I took out an old hand-held Conair massager and began massaging the sore spots. The hip, foot, and ankle are all parts of the body that are susceptible to injury. br>br>ON THE OTHER HAND, THE STRAP IS COMFORTABLE AND WELL-MADE. made. The preceding - It was my fault, and I'm hoping for better fortune in the coming days. My legs are swollen due to the high humidity. There's always something to look forward to.
But now that I'm an adult, I'm overweight, underexercised, and have plantar fasciitis that flares up now and then. My boyfriend and I started roller skating, and I've been coming home unable to walk due to plantar fasciitis pain in my feet and exercise pain in my calves, so this product has been a lifesaver. br>br>The service is straightforward: Fitting your heel into the hole and securing it with a velcro strap (which appears to fit almost any size ankle/calf) is how you put the device on. The straps are then used to stretch the muscles in your feet and legs by pulling them in different directions. I like that the strap has a lot of hand grips so that I can stretch as far as I want. The bottom section is long and pulls your toes into a foot stretch, which I like. I'm a 7-year-old girl. The bottom of the foot part of a size 5 women's street shoe is significantly longer than the bottom of my foot. For those of us with smaller feet, I almost believe they could make this in a smaller size. br>br>On the back of the plastic package (don't throw it away! ), there were basic pictorial instructions. How to put the device on, as well as six or so basic stretches I wish it came with more, because I can see it helping with a variety of muscle groups in the legs and feet, as well as possibly being able to be used for arm stretches. br>br>In any case, this has allowed me to achieve a much deeper stretch than I would have been able to achieve without it (and my leg muscles are already quite flexible). When you lie on your back and stretch one leg straight to the ceiling, for example, I find it difficult to keep my knee straight in order to achieve the proper stretch. This product allows me to comfortably hold the strap so that I can get a good stretch while only slightly bending my knee. I also enjoy having the option of pulling the leg to one side for a deep inner thigh stretch. In short, I believe it is already helping my plantar fasciitis after only a few short sessions (and not on a daily basis), and it has definitely helped me walk the next day after roller skating. I was in a lot of pain, but stretching with this band helped me loosen up my muscles and relieve the pain. I believe it was created with all of the different grips to make stretching more accessible to older people who would otherwise struggle to get a good stretch.
