Plantar Fasciitis

Testimonials from Howard's Massage Clients

Howard Rontal worked on me to help get over plantar fasciitis. It was diagnosed by my medical doctor and physical therapist who both gave me exercises to stretch the muscles, which helped but did not remove the pain altogether.

Howard's work did the trick and I am now pain free. He got into the fascia and other areas I don't remember the names of that the exercises seemed unable to deal with.

Howard,

I want to thank you for all the great work you've done on me in the past few years. This work has helped straighten my body out.

I regained a half inch of height in a couple of our sessions where you reduced a kink in my spine that had probably been there for forty years. It no longer takes so much muscular effort to maintain a standing position and I even feel more relaxed laying in my bed at night. In some ways, I feel twenty years younger.

I also want to thank you for the training that I've taken from you. The techniques are easy to apply and Immediately give one the ability to help others. While learning the strokes for the feet and lower legs, I was able to give relief to a couple of clients who had been under treatment for plantar fasciitis for years.

Both said they had received no relief even though they had gone to a therapist once or twice a week for over two years; bought special shoes and expensive orthotics. After 5 or 6 sessions, the symptoms were almost completely gone. I've done a few follow-up sessions since then, and it's amazing how well their feet are doing. These were two people who had almost given up hope.

I've seen some students achieve almost miraculous results while being worked on In some of your classes. After the advanced class, I came out of there walking on air, after the ten hours, more or less, of body work I received from some of your advanced students, who were themselves excellent body workers - all included in the price of tuition.

Sincerely,
Michael O'Rourke

By the third session, I was close to being cured of plantar fasciitis

Howard --

I wanted to thank you for your great work in allievating my foot pain. I have been to four podiatrists, an orthopod, and the top ankle-foot doc at Georgetown and no one had been able to help me.... Your Hellerwork sessions are the only thing that has really brought relief to my severe foot pains. Many thanks for your help to my well being.

cheers and best regards,
Tex Harris

within three months the tightness and burning in my heel disappeared.

The best way to describe Howard is to say he is a 'maestro' with the human body. In just a few sessions, Howard fixed a myriad of issues I had been suffering from. I am a daily walker and I have dealt with feet issues - plantar fasciitis, painful achilles, etc. - for years. I also had very tight shins that were painful to the touch. Over the years, I have tried many different shoes and inserts to help with my feet and leg issues but none of them really seemed to help.

In one session, Howard worked on my feet and shins. By the time he was done I felt like I was walking on new feet. Howard also worked on releasing the fascia around my shin bone. I will admit that it was a bit painful but when he was done my shins felt great and pain free. In subsequent sessions, Howard worked on my knee and carpal tunnel pain. All were markedly improved after my time with Howard.

After my sessions with Howard, I have been doing my daily walks in a variety of shoes with no issues. I highly recommend sessions with Howard, especially for aging patients. I am 64 and had decided that my pain was just a part of aging. But Howard proved me wrong and it is great to be physically active as I age without pain.
