Product Description
ProStretch Calf Stretcher for Plantar Fasciitis & Achilles Tendonitis
Do I need to use the ProStretch while wearing shoes? Can I just wear socks?
The ProStretch should be used while wearing shoes with a supportive, rubber sole.
What if my foot hangs off of the ProStretch?
ProStretch Original is intended for shoe sizes 12 or below. If your foot hangs off, that is absolutely fine. You are still able to obtain full use of the device even if it may look a little funny.
Why is the ProStretch better than just normal stretching (on a wall, steps, or a curb)?
The ProStretch holds your foot in an optimal angle to get a superior stretch.
What is the difference between the ProStretch & the ProStretch Plus?
The ProStretch Original weight limit is 250 pounds & fits shoe sizes up to 12. The ProStretch Plus is a little longer and wider which accommodates up to shoe size 14 and a weight limit of 300 pounds. It's adjustable with a removeable toe lift.

That wasn't the worse part of it. He said that of the treatments, and surgeries available, there was no guarantees any would work, and all could make the condition even worse. The best he could do besides those treatments was to tell me to take pain killers and he showed me how to lean forward against a wall, and stretch my calves out in a similar way I used to use when I ran.
This long leaning stretch did afford some relief to the pain but I found I had to do it every few hours every day to keep the pain manageable. So as I do with everything else, I started an exhaustive internet search for information on Plantar Fasciitis and heel spurs. I found a great site started by a doctor who also had the condition and she had conducted her own search for information and compiled it all in on her site, including information on medications, procedures, devices and exercises. I read everything there and started implementing her advice on the non-invasive recommendations.
One of the devices that came highly recommended was the ProStretch by Medi_Dyne. It basically recreated the long wall stretch I was already doing but because of the curved bottom, I didn't have to lean so far out and off balance. After searching locally and not finding one, I went back online and found that Allegro Medical sold the ProStretch as a vendor through Amazon.com at a very good price. Not being one to want to stay in pain any longer than I have to I ordered one and in a few days started doing the exercises that my doctor showed me, as well as some on the website I found and some that came with the ProStretch.
Within a few days the relief was incredible. The ProStretch does really help you keep your calf muscle stretched, which leads into a brief explanation of why this is important.
The Plantar Fascia is a band of tissues that hold the foot together. They hook from the heel, form the lower part of your arch and tie into the ball of your foot. But they are not very strong. At night, when we sleep, most people point their toes down. At the same time, the calf muscle, one of the largest and strongest in the body, pulls up on the foot, causing a terrible pull and stretch on the Plantar Fascia. This constant pulling from two directions on the boney heel causes calcium deposits to start forming all around the heel, the Achilles tendon and the Plantar Fascia. When x-rayed, they look like small sharp pieces of bone, thus the term bone spurs.
So it's a tug-a-war between the smaller weaker foot tissue and the larger stronger calf muscle. Guess who wins? The goal then is to keep the calf muscle from pulling up on the foot. That's made easier through the ProStretch. But I found that the ProStretch can't help you as you sleep. So the next part of my therapy involved getting night splints (night boots) to keep the calf muscle stretched out all night long.
I went and purchased two night splints similar to these BIRD & CRONIN PLANTAR FASCITIS SPLINT MEDIUM and began to wear them at night. Yes, it is a major adjustment to get used to wearing rigid boots on your feet while trying to sleep. But after a few nights of waking up half way through the night to take them off, I soon found that I was sleeping all the way through the night. Humans can adjust if they are motivated enough and pain is a good motivator. I must say that this was pretty much the answer to solving my heel spur pain. The night splints, as hard as it was to get used to, worked. They kept my calves flexed all night and when I awoke each morning and took them off, there was no pain like before as I made my way to the bathroom. So I thought I had found the answer, even though the thought of wearing these things the rest of my life didn't appeal at all to me, I knew I would do what I had to do to stay pain free.
Then one day on the job, a friend of mine who also suffers from the same thing came up to me and said he had found the answer. He no longer had to wear the night splints and that it was so easy and cheap I wouldn't believe him. I demanded to know and he took a shoe off and showed me a Dr.Schools Heel Adjustable Arch Support Orthotics for Men, 1 Pair . He said that he picked these up, put in the strong arch insert, and he's been pain free ever since, without having to wear the night splints. His Plantar Fasciitis had cleared up.
On the way home, I picked up a pair and I've not had to wear the night splints since. I also have not "had" to use the ProStretch either. Now I still do use the ProStretch because I like to keep my calves stretched out. If you are in pain, I would encourage you to try any and all of the suggestions I've mentioned. The cost is minimal, but the relief is wonderful! The Dr. Scholls Adjustable Arch Supports may not completely take away your pain, but it's a small cost to try.
Well, I will happily eat my words, because this thing is actually quite useful and gives a great stretch that feels like it's actually really helping my feet. I definitely recommend following the instructions, holding onto something solid, wearing shoes, and giving yourself a good long stretch with it. Using this several times a day has helped me quite a bit, and although my pain hasn't completely gone away, it does appear to be subsiding some, and I attribute a lot of that success to using this device.
Five stars for a simple, helpful tool that's easily worth the money.

Pros
• I’ve tried lots of things to stretch my calves, but this has been the best by miles
• Extremely easy to use
• Excellent, durable build quality
• Works with any foot size (irrespective of foot drop)
Cons
• Stretches the calf, but not the plantar fascia itself. B00TB7QF0C Ultimate Performance Plantar Fasciitis Socks stretch the plantar fascia itself and compliment the ProStretch.
The ProStretch comes as a single unit, but you can only stretch one foot at a time anyway. I found using a combination of the ProStretch device and B00TB7QF0C Ultimate Performance Plantar Fasciitis Socks was ideal for resolving plantar fasciitis. Highly recommended!
