I’m 56 years old and have worked as an emergency room nurse for 20 years. Twelve-hour shifts. On my feet for almost the entire shift.
Five years ago, it started. The burning pain in my heel when I took my first steps in the morning. That feeling of walking on spikes. My doctor confirmed what I had already suspected: plantar fasciitis.
I’ve tried everything. Custom insoles for 1,200 kr. Night splints. Stretching exercises every morning. Three different types of compression socks. Foot baths with Epsom salt. And of course, three months of physical therapy.
Everything helped a little. Nothing helped enough.
The day I realized I had accepted it
It was my daughter who pointed it out. She was home visiting and saw me hobble out of bed in the morning, holding onto the wall so I wouldn’t put full weight on my right foot right away.
"Mom, this isn’t normal. It’s not 'just age'."
I realized she was right. I had started planning my days around foot pain. Avoiding walks. Saying no to my grandchildren’s playground visits. Stopped wearing sandals in the summer.
Three techniques in one device
It was a colleague in the ER who told me about Gymfit AnkleRelief Pro. She had the same problem as me and had tried it for two months.
What got me curious was that it combines three different techniques all used in physical therapy:
- EMS stimulation: electrical impulses that activate the muscles around the foot and ankle (the same technique used in rehab after surgery)
- Infrared heat in 5 levels: 40°C to 60°C, widens blood vessels and helps circulation in the arch of the foot
- Adjustable compression: graduated pressure that helps reduce fluid buildup and swelling
What I usually tell patients is that deep pain is rarely solved with surface treatment. A massage session lasts an hour or so. A heating pad provides heat but no muscle activation. An EMS device without heat misses the most important part.
This combines them. That’s what makes the difference.
The heat penetrates deep into the foot
The heat levels are what I appreciate most. In the morning when my heel is at its worst, I use the highest level (60°C) for 20 minutes. In the evening after a shift, I use the medium level (45-50°C) together with EMS for recovery.
The wrap is wireless. That means I can wear it while eating breakfast, reading, or watching TV. That makes all the difference. Treatments you don’t actually do don’t make any difference.
Try AnkleRelief Pro risk-free →Week 1: The skepticism disappeared
The first time I put it on, I was surprised. The heat wasn’t the over-the-top sauna feeling I expected. It was even, deep, comfortable. The EMS pulses felt strange at first, then relaxing.
After 20 minutes in the morning, I got up from the sofa and took my first steps without holding onto anything.
It was the first time in over a year.
Week 4: What I didn’t think would happen
I use it every morning for 20 minutes and every evening for 15 minutes. After four weeks of regular use, I noticed that the burning morning pain I’d had for five years had become milder.
Not gone. But manageable. I got out of bed without flinching.
My ankles no longer swell as much after a 12-hour shift. My husband pointed it out a week ago. "You walk differently."
Something to consider
AnkleRelief Pro is not a miracle cure. It doesn’t replace physical therapy for severe plantar fasciitis or shockwave treatment for severe heel spurs. But it is a real tool that actually works in everyday life.
I recommend it to patients living with:
- Plantar fasciitis and chronic heel pain
- Heel spurs and morning foot pain
- Neuropathy and burning numbness
- Swollen ankles after long days on your feet
- Diabetes-related foot pain and poor circulation
- Tired calves after exercise or long shifts

What others say
"I’ve had plantar fasciitis for over three years. Tried everything from special insoles to night splints without any real effect. AnkleRelief Pro is the first product where I feel a difference right away. I use it for 20 minutes in the morning and finally avoid the burning pain when I take my first steps."
"Stand eight hours a day in the shop. When I get home, my feet are completely spent and my ankles are swollen. I put on AnkleRelief Pro while I eat dinner and my feet feel completely new after half an hour. The heat is incredibly pleasant and the vibration relieves the tension immediately."
"Bought it for my husband who has diabetes and poor circulation in his feet. He’s skeptical of this kind of thing, but after a week he says his feet feel warmer and not as heavy anymore. We now share it, and we’re both surprised at how well it actually works."
"I had given up on going for walks. The heel spur was so bad that every step hurt. Three weeks of regular use and I took my first proper forest walk again. Not pain-free, but possible. That’s all I asked for."
"Runner for 20 years. Got plantar fasciitis last year. Almost quit completely. I use AnkleRelief Pro every morning and evening for 15 minutes and have slowly started running again. Not back to my old level, but it’s heading in the right direction."
