Done it first time on our cruise ship down the Yangtze River. I have flat feet so they will always hurt after long hours of walking or standing. It took the pain away for about 6-8 days after even with lots of walking for the rest of the trip. I suppose it worked but have not tried since.
True story here but a quack fixed my plantarfasciitis. The pain will not go away after two months of pain pills and my foot doc told me to not walk for three weeks and it will go away. Well, that didn't work. I tried rolling on the tennis ball, coke bottle, brace and nothing and it was kicking my ass especially when I wake up in the morning but once I warmed up, I am ok, even rode my bike. This went on for almost two years. My friend's kid was a state level gymnast. The team goes to this quack for all their injuries and swears by him. After two years, I have nothing to lose but 65 bucks a secession. I discovered he's some kind of kung fu master and was a doctor in China. I'm thinking yeah right? I enter his dingy little office and noticed a bunch of signed pics of famous athletics thanking him as well as teams pictures of various sports. Got on the table and he told me this will hurt a bit. Oh siht, did it hurt. People heard my screams in TX. I am told that manipulations of my tendons was necessary and put them back where they belong. He stuck this freaking steel rod into my calf and back of my leg, put some nasty, smelly, black herbal medicine on my foot. Told me I need ten sessions. I did about 5 and the pain subsided by 70%. I went back for three more and I had full range of motion and no more pain even in the morning. Its been 8 years, and I am completely healed. That was money well spent, I tell ya. I am not a believer.
