I had a *very* bad plantar fasciitis flare-up and started a regimen [based on googling everything in sight] to restore my feet to mobility. This little gadget is very good for stretching out both my feet and the backs of my legs [both are equally important]. I stayed off my feet for the first week [worked on the couch], and at first all I could handle, shoe-wise, were Crocs+Scholl's gel inserts. But after about 2 weeks, I bought supportive shoes [Mephisto Rush], a foot roller, and had a regimen of stretching/yoga 2xday, ankle rotations 2xday, and frequent stretch breaks when sitting at a desk.Things I learned NOT to do: walk barefoot, wear ballet flats, wear shoes without arch support, wear old running shoes [they lose their resilient bounce], run on hard surfaces [a treadmill has a much more forgiving surface], ignore my body's need for daily stretching.

I play basketball in a league and had problems with my heel for a few months. I didn't know what the problem is till I looked up online. Playing basketball and watching the NBA a lot. I was wondering what the most common heel injury NBA players get, one of them was plantar fasciitis. I looked up plantar fasciitis and I had most of the symptoms. One treatment was to use a Plantar Fasciitis splint which I borrowed from a friend and that did not help. So I got this and it worked I don't feel much pain on my heel. Now I use this to help me stretch before the game.

This is amazing to help stech your leg muscles. Not just your calf muscles but all of your leg muscles. It does wonders for the before legs workout and after the workout.

I was in a car accident almost two years ago. I still go to physical therapy weekly. This device gives me the deep stretch I need that I receive from my physical therapists. I can now find relief at home on days I do not have therapy.

I was using a towel for daily stretches for plantar fasciitis. This tool is a great stretch aid. It is more comfortable than using a towel and I get a lot better stretch.

I have a pretty severe case of plantar fasciitis and this stretching device is just the greatest thing I have found anywhere. I can get the absolutely best stretch for the condition without a band slipping off the foot, very good angle and so forth, and I can even do it sitting in a chair with one hand so I can be doing something else at the same time. This might sound stupid but since I'm supposed to stretch something like 5 times a day this becomes really important. I would highly recommend this product to anyone with plantar fasciitis.

OPTP STRETCH EZ has helped my plantar fasciatis so much. It allows you to stretch your foot in so many different ways and can be used to stretch not just for Plantar fasciatis, but to also loosen other muscles too.

This stretch band is very helpful - both my 9 year old soccer player with heel issues and I use this band. I ordered multiple so he could carry one in his bag and I use it nightly for my hip and planter fasciitis. Highly recommend!

It is the same one I use in foot therapy, works great! I would recommend this to anyone with plantar faciitis

Me neither! General stiffness and achilles tendinitis combined to make this stretch too difficult for me, but with the aid of OPTP Stretch-EZ, I have gained some advantage. I found the product to be inexpensive and tough enough for repeated use. Greatly beneficial for toe cramps as well :-)

I can't say this product is a cure-all becuase my PF is not gone yet, but i can tell you that I am using it a lot during the night to stretch my PF before i get out of bed. This gives my feet a gentler "warm up" than just standing up and my hope is that doing this will be an important step in breaking the cycle of inflammation in my PF. I use it lying flat on my back with my leg also flat on the bed. I use the next to last handle and use a gentle pull to activate the tendons on the bottom of my foot. Without it, i can barely walk to the bathroom! I'm also doing traditional stretching during the day when i feel the PF get tight. That and I ordered replacement insoles for my shoes to provide more cushion to my feet. I work on a concrete floor much of the day and it's not very forgiving. The rest of the time I'm sitting at a computer and, as most PF sufferers know, sitting just gives your PF a chance to "tighten up". But i do love this product. Another reviewer said the handle was too small, but that's only the "last" handle. There is an enitire row of good sized handles along the whole length of the strap. These allow you to vary the tension of your stretch and use two hands if desired.

It is easy to use and gives the perfect stretch to the level you want. I use it after my total knee replacement surgery. The quality is very good.

Foot drop rehabIt took a while to find the Stretch-EZ online but it a very crutial part of my rehab for foot drop. It is not a quick fix but it is making significant improvement in my recovery.

Strong, sturdy. Does everything it says. The stretch is amazing. I've had issues with my Archilles tendon in the past and I use this especially before running and it really helps. Great product!

I had a bad car accident and my physical therapist was having me use this. unfortunately my healthcare cut my visits to PT from twice a week to once a week and then once every two weeks. I have Achilles tendon issues and plantar fascia. Daily use of this tool keeps me walking fine and feeling great. no cramps or tightness. It's great for use after a shower or with the use of topical aids such as tiger balm, bengay or icy hot.

The patients like the way they can stretch there calves while sitting. Making it simple for the older folks. Thank you for a great product!

I bought two of these because I have plantar fasciitis and I had already purchased a boot to try to keep my foot stretched at night. But that, I was unable to endure throughout the entire night. It also was scary to walk in.I have a foot roller that helps a lot with stretching. However, this thing allows you to get to those really deep muscles, the quads, the hamstrings. It also gets a great stretch on the Achilles heel. And you can rotate the angle you pull from to vary the stretch. With leg pain, I find that it's all connected. My Achilles trouble stems from tension in the legs. And floor stretching by touching the toes is good but not long lasting in its effect. Especially the hamstrings and my hip flexor are so tight. A foam roller helps as well but this thing really stretches you. It would be great for people who want to be really flexible.

Works better then a simple strap, for sure. Seems to be well-made, so far. I am glad that I bought it.

I bought this for issues with my foot and hip due to Plantar Fasciitis. This is a great tool as you can do lots of different stretches with it. They send you some directions but my physical therapist showed me some additional stretches. It cured oy aches but I have to keep using it or they will come back.

When I first found out about this product, it was recommended for stretching out my hamstrings. Little did I know that it would also help me greatly reduce the soreness in my lower back. highly recommended
