My mother called me and asked if I knew of any treatments for Plantar Fasciitis as she had recently been diagnosed. The option she was given by her doctor was surgery which would put her out of commission for 5 months. I sent her the Thermoskin to see if that would help her. She told me that it was a bit uncomfortable at first but after wearing it for a couple of weeks the discomfort disappeared and the pain in her feet have been greatly reduced. She feels that she can now avoid surgery.
