"It wasn't long ago that I was talking to a friend who was suffering from the pain and inconvenience of Plantar Fasciitis and bone spurs of the feet. I couldn't fathom how your feet could be the source of so much pain and debilitation until six months later when I myself was experiencing these same ailments. I tried the pain pills, professional therapy, and stretching exercises for relief from my pain, but nothing seemed to work really well for me. I, like most others sufferers, was beginning to feel as though the pain would be with me for the rest of my life."

"It was suggested to me by someone that by rolling my foot over a household bottle or a can of soda I might be able to relieve some of the pain, so for lack of any other new solution, I tried it. Once while using a soda can, I rolled my foot from the arch to the heel, and in trying to achieve a decent amount of pressure, the can pinched free, causing it to shoot into my other foot. What a painful disaster!"

"With a regiment of medication, therapists and soda cans, I was able to relieve some of the pain, but I still found myself seeking deeper relief and a better solution to achieving it. That's when and why the TenderFoot Roller was born."

"A rough sketch of the roller became a computer drawing with the help of a friend, which was then sent off to a machinist for the making of a prototype roller. After several versions and positive feedback from fellow sufferers, I have refined the roller to its present form and I'm pleased to say it has worked wonders for those of us lucky enough to test it. With only a few minute's use in the morning, I am able to go through my day pain free!"

"Because the roller is made of solid 6061 aluminum, I knew it would retain cold or hot temperature for a long period of time. I like to put my own TenderFoot roller in the freezer to absorb the cold, which it does wonderfully, and it feels great on my feet. If it's heat that I want, I put my roller right in the sink under hot running water for a minute or two — until I can hardly hold it because it gets so hot — and then I roll my foot over it. Either way it feels terrific and has worked wonders for my own fasciitis and bone spurs."

"I think that most users will find that perhaps the most important aspect of using the TenderFoot is that YOU control how much pressure is used by applying your own body weight. When starting out, I would recommend keeping your exercise light and then gradually build to a more aggressive workout to achieve a deeper impact as you begin to feel the results where YOU need it."
