Pro-Tec Athletics Calf Stretcher/Half Round Foam Roller

I needed to stretch my feet and ankles and this simple device does the job perfectly. It took a couple of days to use it just right for me but now I k ow exactly how to use it. As good much more expensive devices that do roughly the same thing. Well worth it. Highly recommend!

Great value product for strength work on calves, reducing the shin splints when running. For months shin splints would cripple me for days after running but using daily and before/after runs this has made the pain go away. I mainly use the flat edge under my foot and stretch my calves that way, but also like to use it long ways, flat side down to balance on one foot. I use to use the bottom step of the stairs! I use this barefoot, and initially it left a slippery residue on my soles but that has now gone.

This has been so useful - I sit on it at my desk flat side up and it’s a rocker - great for my back - I haven’t got an office style chair. I use it either way up under my feet either sitting or standing (standing is best) and I can exercise feet, toes and ankles. Can also use it during exercise sessions under back, neck, knees etc for extra support or challenge. For the money its a really great bit of equipment. It is also good quality. Why 4 stars then? Just wish it could be made of something more eco-friendly.

I’m using this for balance for plantar fasciitis recovery. It’s good to use as a rocker with the downward to do calf strengthening. It’s good to use with the dome up to balance and do heel raises on. It’s tactile and feels nice on the sole of the foot. I woujd also use it to balance on doing bridges. There is a plantar Faciitis recovery kit available in cork that is very expensive. So I have made my own kit using this and other components. If I recover from this terrible issue, I can see myself continuing to use this for yoga and Pilates.

Purchased to help with stiff calf muscles experienced during and after running. It certainly seems to help and I now keep under my desk to rest my feet on and to use whenever I feel any tightness building up. Small and light do great for carrying with any gym equipment or clothing if required.

Good product shame it split in two only after one use.

Only problem is my kids think it a toy and it keeps disappearing. It’s great for stretching out calves wherever you’re standing rather than having to take myself off to the bottom stair.

I received this item yesterday and it remains in its wrapper. I bought it for calf stretching and Immediately I could see that it is too high and too wide for my average size 6 women's foot, equally for that of my husband size 8. With the plastic wrapper still in place my foot of course slips off, but it is still obvious that with it flat on the floor it isn't possible too get enough purchase on it and remain in a good upright position. With the domed side on the floor it slips away! On a positive note, the foam looks and feels good quality. The edges are nicely moulded, the surface helpfully textured and I even like the colour. Shame about the size! Beware - this item is not accepted for return? It is my personal view that use of this item as listed, isn't possible without huge feet. Maybe I shall just have to get out a knife and start cutting it to size. Not Good Enough!!

Gives an amazing, deep calf stretch. I use it every night before I get in bed to ease/prevent muscle cramps and spasms. Love it! Also love that it’s so lightweight and portable, easy to bring with you on a trip.

I use the product upside down because I am in a wheelchair. It works fine for me except I have to brace it against a wall so I can’t do anything else while using it.

30CM HALF ROLLER APPEARS GOOD QUALITY, IS EVA FOAM AND NOT GENERIC PACKAGING. HAS PROPER BRANDING. HOWEVER CORNERS WERE DAMAGED... NO RESOLUTION OR FOLLOW UP FROM SELLER.... POOR.

Permette di eseguire numerosi esercizi ma non tutto è positivo. Il materiale plastico fa poco attrito e mi è capitato più volte che, una volta fatta pressione con il peso del corpo, il roller scivolasse improvvisamente fuori da sotto il piede mettendomi a rischio di cadere. La misura e la forma non mi pare adatta a tutti i tipi di piede.

ふくらはぎがよく伸びる。外国製だから円安で高いのかわからないけど材質的に安価で作れるものなので高いと思ってしまいました。
