“When I was approached with the Alleviate products for treating Plantar Fasciitis, I saw an immediate benefit to my patient population. It’s an all-in-one solution that marries three effective treatment modalities so patients can self-release and self-manipulate tissue using physical products. The instructional exercise videos are both informative and effective, and housed in an app that visually depicts a patient’s progress over time..it’s a no brainer!”
“I’ve dealt with plantar fasciitis for years and tried everything, but nothing relieved my pain as quickly as Alleviate! After just five days of using the massage tool, I noticed a HUGE difference in how I felt getting out of bed in the morning and throughout the day, sitting and standing. My lower legs feel better, my feet feel better and the mobility in my toes feels more fluid.”
“I had given up on finding a solution that could completely eliminate foot pain. Then I found Alleviate. The system offers the combined benefit of a supportive brace that relieved my pain almost immediately, as well as a simple and intuitive exercise program that could strengthen my muscles for the long-term. Nothing else out there comes close to this, and I would recommend it to anyone!”

It's working on having my life back so gots to let it work.
After several months of suffering with pain in both feet, I decided to try the Alleviate Plantar Fasciitis System. I wish I had seen it months ago. Within a couple of days I could tell a difference. Instead of walking hunched over in pain, I’m was able to do the recommended exercises. This wasn’t possible the first week. I’m looking forward to more improvement!
The plantar fasciitis system really helps me relieve some of my plantar fasciitis pain. I love the massager and exercises.. The massager is stable and sturdy. Exercises online target the heel and calf so far. The boot is helpful but it takes some time to get used to. They have excellent customer service: fast shipping and responsive emails. This definitely helps me! Thanks so much!

Each component of the three-part Alleviate System (the Loft Brace, Arch Massager, and Plantar Fasciitis Guided Recovery Program) has been designed by experts to recreate proven professional techniques for healing Plantar Fasciitis. The system is designed to be comprehensive: it relieves pain immediately and transforms the structure of your arch over time so you can stay pain-free in the long term.
We give you every tool you need to treat plantar fasciitis at home: the Loft Brace relieves pain immediately by reducing stress on the injured tissue in your plantar fascia; the Arch Massager breaks up injured tissue & promotes healing throughout the plantar fascia; and the Guided Recovery Program ties everything together and offers customized rehab exercises to rebuild your arch and stay healthy in the long term. If something doesn't work out for you, get in touch -- our products are backed by research and our risk-free guarantee.
While this original System comes with the original Loft Brace, with the Plantar Fasciitis System 2, you get the updated Loft 2 Brace, which fits more feet/ankles and are easier to put on or take off. We recommend the Plantar Fasciitis System 2 for most people, but if you are unsure which one works better for you, please reach out at info@alleviatetherapy.com. We're happy to help you pick the right System.
The Loft's three key components work together to provide relief by unloading the stress on your plantar fascia.
- The Dial Lacing System offers a precise and performance-ready fit. The laces act as a suspension bridge, lifting the arch for immediate pain relief.
- The Arch Plate is anatomically designed to adapt to the structure of your foot with a reinforced basket-weave pattern for sturdy yet pliable support
- The Heel Pad creates extra cushion for the part of your foot that can hurt the most, eliminating those painful first steps in the morning.
The Loft combines the benefits of a compression sock & a traditional orthotic at an increased level of efficacy & usability. The Loft is designed to simultaneously provide compression & relieve the load on your plantar fascia, while offering a performance-ready fit which can be adjusted on the go without removing your shoe. Loft lifts your arch, fits in almost all shoes, and delivers in 3-4 days (unlike custom orthotics).
Pull the Loft on and tighten the dial lacing to a comfortable level that feels snug, then go about your day! You can wear the Loft in existing shoes, with or without an existing orthotic, and with or without socks. If you do choose to wear a sock, we recommend thin socks -- the thinner the sock, the better you'll be able to feel your foot & get re-accustomed to using it to its fullest potential as it heals.
Yes, the Loft fits in most shoes. We designed the Loft with low-profile, breathable materials so it can be worn whenever and wherever you need support.
Don't give up! The Loft brace mimics an expert tape job, so it should feel snug. The brace was designed to hug and support your foot, so it may be hard to take off at first. If you’re concerned about breaking it, don’t be! The Loft is made with durable materials and tested by elite athletes. If you get your Loft on, walk around in it, and think you have the wrong size, feel free to reach out to us here.
As you’re introducing the Loft to your daily routine, we suggest changing one factor at a time in general as a safe practice. If you already use an orthotic, try Loft with your orthotic in your shoe to start (many orthotics are bulky -- there may not be enough room for both devices and in some cases, you may have to take out the orthotic). As you grow accustomed to the Loft and your pain diminishes, you can begin to wear it without the orthotic.
You won’t lose the efficacy of the device if you wear a sock, but bear in mind that we are trying to rehab you past the point of needing the Loft. When you have no sock between your foot and the Loft, you are awakening your awareness of your foot, allowing you to experience full functionality more completely. Ultimately, wearing a sock is ok, but the thinner the better.
You can wear the Loft while sleeping, and some users have found this beneficial for pain relief. However, your feet produce sweat during the day and night, and it’s important to give your foot a break from this environment so that you don’t damage healthy skin. Always inspect your feet before and after use of the product.

The geometry of the Arch Massager is precision-engineered to help you massage painful spots at home with the same amount of pressure created by steel Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Massage tools.
Yes. Our recommendation is 2-3 minutes per session, 2 times per day. Excessive massage risks further stress on damaged tissue. You should feel some discomfort, but not pain, during or after massage; pain is the sign you may be overdoing it. Note: we do not recommend the Arch Massager for people with impaired sensation in feet.
When you apply the right amount of pressure to create a change in your damaged tissue, you may feel some discomfort, but you should not be in pain. Many of our users describe the “hurts so good” feeling that you get from a deep, targeted massage.
Our patented self-massage tool is engineered to help you heal faster by delivering a recreation of a professional-grade sports massage. This methodology boosts circulation, breaks up scar tissue, and aligns your muscles and tendons. The dual-arch design targets specific points of the foot at the right angles with the right level of pressure to promote healing.
The Guided Recovery Program is a digital physical therapy program that combines the expert guidance from a seasoned PT with easy-to-follow, effective daily exercises that strengthen and stabilize your foot, ankle and leg. The guidance removes uncertainty and trial and error from your Plantar Fasciitis recovery, while the six-level progressive strengthening work supports full, sustained recovery. You’ll set your own goal, follow your customized roadmap and spend no more than 15 minutes a day. Built-in progress assessments and visualization of your progress keep you on track, as you move up the levels at your own pace.
You'll have a recovery task every day, but it'll take no more than 15 minutes a day!
The Guided Recovery Program walks you through a phased progression of simple, research-backed exercises to progressively build strength and stability throughout the connected chain that includes your arch, foot, ankle, and leg. Learn more here.
You'll access the Plantar Fasciitis Guided Recovery Program in the Alleviate App (iOS/Android). After purchase, you'll receive an email from us with step-by-step instructions for accessing the program.
