Questions & Answers About Our Products / Re: Healing Time Frame?

Hi Boxcraft,

It took about a month for the plantar fasciitis in my left foot to go away. My right foot was so bad I had to do therapy--or maybe I was too impatient and tired of hurting. I still put them on my feet once a month and the pain went away in my left in March and my right in late May after 4 therapy sessions. Best of luck!

When I was treating my plantar fasciitis, I bought both types of cold wraps and a BFST wrap. I noticed a huge difference in the cooling sensation  between the two and the ColdCure stayed cold far longer. Best of luck!

There were days I could only do the full treatment twice in a day. I think it still helped the process.

Questions & Answers About Our Products / Re: BFST Vs Heating Pad

Hi Michelle,

I dealt with plantar fasciitis for several months using a regular ice pack and heating pad before ordering the cold and BFST wraps. There was no comparison. Not only did King Brand's products work far better than the others, the fact that the wraps were like shoes on my feet, I think the treatment had a greater amount of direct contact with my feet than the other ones. I bet there was also less cold/heat loss as well since I was wearing them.

Best of luck!!

I agree about how well the tape worked as I used it when I was fighting my plantar fasciitis.

The one change I would like to see with the BFST products is a redesign of the power plug and length of the cord. The plug is so wide that there are outlets it won't fit into because of other things plugged in, so I have to use a power strip.  Also, the cord is so short that if I could plug it into a wall outlet, I would either have to sit on the floor.

That said, the products are amazing!!

Hi Mariza,

I came to the website because I just bought the large body wraps after injuring my back and figured I would read some posts and post my results for the plantar fasciitis I had.

I had terribly bad plantar fasciitis in both feet. I used both the cold wrap and BFST on both feet and got complete relief from my left and partial relief with my right foot. I was amazed at how it worked. Before getting them, when I slept I wore the PF socks and hard shell boots. I began a stretching routine, but none of that reduced the pain any. My wife found King Brand's website and got both products. Relief did not come overnight, but the one thing I did notice immediately was that unlike the ice packs or the heating pad I had used, since the wraps are like a shoe, they treated exactly where I needed and there was probably less heat/cold lost than with the others because of the way it fits on the foot. After using the products for a week, I ordered the KB support tape and began taping my feet too. This really helped with both feet. I would highly encourage you to get these products.

Good luck!

Customer Feedback / plantar fasciitis

I suffered through plantar fasciitis in both feet for 3 months before I began trying to fix it. I started with the sock then a hard boot wasting $45 for each and for each foot. I tried stretching, ice, and a heating pad without any lasting relief. I went to a physical therapist for a consultation and he estimated that it would take 5-10 sessions to resolve the issue at a cost of $1000. Hoping to find a far less expensive treatment, my wife discovered your site and purchased the foot cold and BFST wraps. I was seriously impressed not only by the products, but also the customer service as I had a representative call me twice just to check on how it was going and if I had any questions. After using both for 3 weeks, my left foot stopped hurting. I continued treatments on my right foot for another month before giving up and going to the physical therapist. He was amazed at how the King Brand treatments improved my left foot. My right foot was too aggravated for the wraps to work. I bought my therapy treatments and continued using the wraps. My right foot stopped hurting after 4 sessions of therapy. I have continued using the wraps about once a month on my feet just to keep the pain away.

I have read some complaints about not feeling the BFST work. I wondered that at first, so I turned it up to the third stage. After feeling what it would feel like, I turned it back down to level 1. Then I was able to feel the "heat." It was unlike a heating pad's heat and more of a deep heat sensation.

Thank you for such amazing products!!
