I've battled plantar fasciitis for a couple of years. This really does help. I keep it under my desk at home and use it while I'm at my computer. In fact, I'm using it as a type this. Now that I'm working from home for the time being, it gets a LOT of use and I love it! You control the pressure and speed, which is nice. I just kind of absent mindedly move my feet over the rollers. You can concentrate on specific areas. Heels, arch, toes, etc. My feet are happy, so I'm happy! Would be a great gift for those who have foot problems!
