This product has been a tremendous help for my partner. She ruptured her achilles tendon earlier this year and rehabilitation was eventually canceled. This device provides daily convenience for her use when she sees fit. It is providing great stretching directly where it needs to for her injury. She said its a duplicate of what she used during rehab treatment. Thanks Amazon for allowing this item to be on sale via your website. I strongly recommend its use for anyone experiencing an achilles tendon injury.Product Review: Excellent for stretching

I developed heel pain from running and knew that I need to stretch my calf muscles. Although you can easily do so without the ProStretch, I can feel more of a stretch when I use this device. With practice I could probably do the same thing on my own, but I have a busy schedule and like that this device easily ensures a good stretch. I use it several times a day.Product Review: HAVE HAD MINE ABOUT 30 YEARS I THINK...
Summary: 5 Stars
I started running distance events in 1971 and somewhere way back then I picked up a PROSTRETCH to help with stretching. Although my distance running days ended in the late 80's, over the years, like now as I write this review, I have had to return to using it regularly when I had over-stressed my arches.
--This time that was caused by a combination of a lot of long walks on concrete and a lot of wearing some really comfortable slides that, unfortunately, do not provide very good arch support.
It goes without saying that I am an extreme fan of this ingenious little device; what I'd like to do is offer some comments on OTHER comments on it.
1) There is a study online [KUZMA & McNEIL, UW-L, 2005] in which the researchers concluded that the PROSTRETCH device is no better than static or incline board stretching. My own experience and the overwhelmingly positive reviews here at Amazon would suggest otherwise.
2) At least one reviewer here asserts that he or she was injured by using the PROSTRETCH. I can see where this would easily happen if one did not STRICTLY follow the instructions in the user's manual which CLEARLY state that one should not stretch too fast or too far.
3) These devices are built to last; I'd say that in normal usage they will easily outlive the original purchaser. IOW, they are a classic device that you may just hand down to your grandkids.
4) Lastly, and this is sort of a minor point but one that needs addressing IMO, I don't know if the present units come with the very hi-quality heavy-duty rubberized strips on the bottom. On mine these are 1/2" wide by 10.25" long by 1/8" deep. I have found them to be sufficient for using the device safely on hardwood floors. It would be nice to know if other users have also found them to be sufficient. We - wife & I - use the device on hardwood floors or carpet/rugs only - not outdoors - as we don't want to damage the rubber strips.
Recommend without reservation to reasonably discerning people.
Product Review: Awesome. Curing my pain. Never woulda believed it.

This little doohickey is fantastic. I'm in my 30s and have fabulous shoes I haven't been wearing the past few months because of increasing pain in my left heel. The first few times I used this the pain actually was worse for the day, one time so much I wanted to hop around on one foot, but now it's been a week and I have SIGNIFICANT improvement in my pain. I'm even eyeing my red heels again. A few more weeks and I should be ready to wear them!
