After suffering through a winter with plantar fasciitis I incorporated Solemate into my foot exercise program and it has made a huge difference in my foot and ankle strength. There are so many great training videos to mix it up and keep things fresh and fun. Very happy with my purchase!
I am a very active person- fr years I would hobble around after big athletic events. My feet did not stop me from participating but, I was paying consequences for not having strong feet.
I am diligent everyday about the fundamentals and foot training! I am reaping the benefits of this training so quickly!
I started the program while recovering from a sprained ankle that was not healing and was impacting my life, especially in taking care of my horse. After finishing the first half of the program I can now walk 4 miles daily and I can even swing up bareback onto my horse. As my chronological age increases so does my ability to move. The lessons are easy to follow, and most importantly, they are fun to do.
I am on Week 5 of the program and enjoying it thoroughly so far. It started out fairly easy for me, but is getting challenging as my awareness of my feet and body improves. The explanations, tips, and techniques in the practices are well explained and the lessons in each week are very informational and fun to listen to. I am feeling many new sensations and soreness and even some twinges (which alarmed me at first, but they went away) in my feet. Now I'm re-evaluating all my footwear and considering natural footwear. The good thing is my workouts are all done barefoot and with grippy socks, so I feel I am working my feet more than when I wore workout shoes. The great thing about this program is to create awareness of your body and how your feet move, so you can make changes to improve your mobility, balance, and strength.
appreciate the information, it is easy to understand and makes the program approachable and relevant to life. It has been very helpful to have the training sessions played out the way they are, and to have a very purposeful progression.
I am just a few weeks into the Foot Restoration Program, and the results have exceeded my expectations. After suffering with plantar fasciitis for a year and a half and trying everything from PT to cortisone injections with varying degrees of success, this program is making meaningful progress. I am optimistic that I have FINALLY found the answer to my foot problems.
I'm using the SoleMate as part of a foot strengthening and aligning program--with the ultimate goal of being able to run again. I like that it is cork and not some plasticky-rubbery material. It is well made and an important tool for me as I regain my natural gait and balance.
As a retired nurse educator, I recognized my feet influenced my over all health so I read applicable articles and watched YouTube videos. Taking this course has accelerated my foot health improvement dramatically. The educators are articulate and knowledgeable professionals- Jim even performs exercises with us online instead of just telling us about them. Plus he stresses to pace ourselves while encouraging us to keep moving forward to our goal. This program will benefit people of all ages and levels of fitness. Participants are even taught how to use what we have at home for tools with options to purchase useful items from TFC.
I look forward to each training and the educational resources provided. I’m sharing what I learn with my family and friends. Grateful I found this high quality program that really cares about my foot health and my mobility/balance.
I am 5 weeks into the Foot Restoration Program. I appreciate how it builds in increments instead of being super intense from the start. My feet and ankles are gaining strength and endurance. AND my posture is improving as well! I am so pleased with everything. Thank you!
I'm 4 weeks in and the program is giving me good ideas on how to improve my foot function and motivation to get out and walk and try things to improve balance.
