Durable Hard Plastic
I'm dealing with plantar fasciitis for the last few months. I'm wearing a boot a night to keep my foot straight just so I can walk on my foot in the morning. I even tried wearing the boot all day but it's awkward and yet my foot does feels great when I leave the boot on.
I had fasciitis many years ago and eventually it went away so I know with time this will too. I order this "rocker" and just received it and tried it out. It is a very hard plastic, durable. I tried it on the carpet and wood floors. There is 2 rubber strips on the bottom that keeps it from slipping. I tried it out barefooted and with shoes and each time I felt immediate relief after using. It is portable so I could take it to work or even leave it in the car if I need to have a good stretch. It works better than just bending and extending my leg.
The booklet that comes with it shows exercises for the Upper Calf, Hamstrings, Toe Raise and Toe Touch but also by placing your foot sideways for the Front Lower Leg (Anterior Tibialis), Inner/Outer Foot Stretch, Lower Calf & Achilles Tendon. Doing it sideways I'm not feeling anything and I'm not even sure if you are suppose to and perhaps it's just an all around exercise to stretch all muscles. Anyway it was easy and the product was strong to stand on and I got relief immediately. The booklet highly recommends using flat rubber soled shoes.
