The Stick: Travel Size
This product is AMAZING for releasing tight calves. This can be done before a scrapping session to relax the muscles. It is super strong and will last a life time. You can also use it all of the body. I love getting into the lower calf with this stick, really great results for people with heel pain :)

The only Plantar Fasciitis night splint that is semi comfortable
I tried a few night splints, and they are horrible! They are extremely uncomfortable, and I always woke up with indents in my skin where the splint was digging in to tight. The only one I could manage was the strassburg sock. It was pretty comfortable to sleep with (never enjoyable), but it did seem to do its job very well. There are some good reviews out there on this product, so give it a try if you want to try a night splint:

My favorite book: The Permanent Pain Cure
This man is a genius. He wrote a break through book on how to stretch "fascia". If more people knew about this book, less people would have chronic injuries, period. He offers a explanation to chronic ailments in the beginning that summarizes tons of complex medical information into easy to understand analogies and examples.
I based some of my early studies off of the path that he showed me. His stretches are extremely different and difficult, but show great results. He also is a true believer in healing without drugs, but still shows alternative methods that work. Some of my methods were inspired by information I learned from this book. This book is pretty cheap if you buy it used at the link below: Click Here for a Cheap Price |
Elgin Archxerciser Foot Strengthening Device
I loved this thing.... when my extreme heel pain started to diminish. When my heel hurt extremely bad, I tried it, had no relief, then stuck it in my closet. Later on, when my heel pain slowly started to get better, this thing came in REALLY handy. It really got my little foot muscles into gear and made them really sore. I felt more "balanced" on my feet, and it seem that my feet needed excercise after I had not been walking for so many months from my heel pain. This helped me push my recovery towards the last step of relief. BUT remeber, when I tried it when I was in a lot of pain, it didn't help me much AT ALL.

This book is for Pre-Med/Massage Therapist/Doctors that are interested in my medical background
This book is like a soft tissue manual therapist bible. I have read it front to back and used it as a reference for a few years now and find it to be a requirement for anyone wanting to have a true understanding of the purpose of fascia and why it is so crucial to address with chronic inflammatory ailments. This book gives a good overview of all the systems that are affected when the fascia is in a tight or constricted state. It also shows where you need to focus your attention, no matter what kind of soft tissue work you do.
