After two different marathon training cycles, I started to feel that not so great stabbing pain in my right foot. I confirmed with my PT that I had officially joined the “runner dealing with plantar fasciitis” club. Which means I am very open to any and all ideas for resolving the issue! Enter our review of the Alleivate Arch Massager for Plantar Fasciitis.If you’ve dealt with plantar fasciitis, then you know the discomfort and frustration that I was experiencing. It’s a very stubborn injury that not only disrupted my running but also my everyday activities.
After a few months of regular visits to PT, focusing on foot and ankle strength, and shockwave sessions I was back to feeling normal. Well that is until I moved out to Colorado and traded my flat sidewalks for trails and hills.
Back to square one training with PF and I knew this time I had to do something different if I wanted to prevent this from constantly showing up.
There are a ton of ways to deal with plantar fasciitis- shoes, frozen water bottles, lacrosse balls and the list goes on.
The big question is could the Alleviate Arch Massager actually help? After using this tool consistently for the last few months, I put together my honest feedback. Spoiler alert- it actually helped a lot!
