Fascia trainer

Update:

29/06/2026 Updated the wider version (v2): middle rib was too high, lowered it for a smoother experience. 

you'll find the v2 in the 3mf and stl

26/06/2026 Added a much wider version. The biggest advantage is that you can switch sides without turning the trainer.

The middle rib feels also more pointy so it's easier to find the “sweet” spot.

I really recommend to try the wider version.

Reason of existence:

My wife is a fysiotherapist and is always looking for new tools to use. I also have 2 heelspurs so i try to go for a holistic treatment. The trainer releases tension, improves better walking patterns, alleviates heel spur and heel pain, and prevents general foot discomfort.

Treating the fascia problem is holistic and in most cases different therapies are needed!!! Look below for my suggestions.

What size?

There's no wrong size!!! Start with the larger sizes, as body weight is more evenly distributed.

Then gradually move on to the smaller sizes. The smaller the size, the deeper the pressure goes.

New: added a wide version, feels great!!

How to use:

Hint: wear a sock, feet tend to get sticky.

1. Short end up/left and right = forefoot

• Stand up and use your bodyweight to adjust the pressure to you pain threshhold - the pain will fade away
• Start on top between the toe joints and slowly go sideways and down towards the heel
• Do this multiple times and then do the same with fascia trainer horizontal. The direction does matter, so just try to pinpoint where pressure is needed.

2. Short end of the fascia trainer downward = lower foot towards the heel

• Use your bodyweight and adjust the pressure to you pain threshhold
• Start on top and slowly go sideways and down towards the heel
• Do this multiple times
• Use the short end to go deeper

Example forefoot:

• Night splint

This one is useful, but you need to get used to. Wear it at night.

• PRP

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy for heel spurs uses a concentrated dose of your own blood platelets to naturally heal the underlying inflammation (usually plantar fasciitis). It is a minimally invasive, in-office procedure designed to stimulate tissue regeneration, reduce chronic pain, and improve mobility without surgery. Make sure your heel sedated first… you can imagine the pain.

I had this one in my right heel and it helped, a few months ago i had PRP in my left heel but it didn't help.

• Other generic feet things
