Has anyone tried using a vibrating foot massager to relax and loosen their feet, hence reducing pain? There is a massager that seems to do a great job on plantar fasciitis, but I'm concerned about using it on my feet for my ledderhose problem. I understand from my reading in this forum and other places that when you disturb the disease, it can grow more aggressively. I have a concern that the deep vibration/manipulation of my foot may disturb the ledderhose nodules and trigger them to grow more. Any thoughts for using a vibrating foot massager? (It is a high-end professional grade percussion massager).

Thanks!

Thanks NenaCindy for your reply. I have found the same result. It tends to loosen my feet which feels good, but the next day they seem to be a little inflamed. I'm concerned that this inflamation may stimulate the nodule growth. I'm guessing it would be the same with manual deep tissue massage...I have found that when I get a massage, they are eager to want to work my feet. I have started requesting that they leave my feet alone. Again, if anyone has any insights to deep tissue foot massage and its effects on Ledderhose, I would appreciate your feedback.

Of course foot massaging is great. Doing your own foot massage at home can do more than just relax you also. In addition to that, it can leave you feeling refreshed and invigorated.
