LET’S GET STARTED
Get to know the Arch Massager
Arch Massager Quick Start
STEP 1: SET UP
Rotate each leg of the massager outward until it clicks, then put the
massager on the floor.
STEP 2: LUBRICATE
Apply a dime-sized amount of lotion, balm, or gel to the bottom of your foot.
We recommend Arnica cream, a natural anti-inflammatory. If you don’t want to
use lotion, a sock also works!
STEP 3: EXERCISE
Sit down and try some of our tried and true exercises (included in this
manual) for relief from tired and painful feet.
PRO TIP
It will be uncomfortable at first–don’t worry! That’s a good sign. Discomfort
is an indication that you’re repairing your damaged tissue. If you feel
genuine pain or if you have impaired sensation in your feet, stop and contact
your healthcare provider.
STEP 4:
CARE To clean your massager, wipe it down with a damp cloth once you’re done.
Exercise Guidelines
We’ve included some of our favorite moves and general guidelines so that you
can get started using the massager right away.
DURATION / FREQUENCY
We recommend 2-3 minutes per affected side, morning and night.
SPEED
Be deliberate with your speed. Use smooth, steady strokes to apply even and
intentional pressure on the kinks (i.e. scar tissue) in your foot.
FEEL IT OUT
This guide introduces you to common exercises, but everyone massages
differently! Play around with different pressure levels and movements until
you find what feels right for you.
TEST AND RETEST
How do you know it’s working? Take a few steps before and after a session
to feel the difference. After a good session, your feet will feel lighter and
refreshed.
PRO TIP
Need more leverage? Step on one of the legs of the massager with your non-
working foot. This will help you shift weight onto your feet for added
pressure.
Exercise 1: The Rock Away
Place the ball of your foot on top of the low peak. While applying downward
pressure, push the ball of your foot away from you across the top of the low
peak. The motion may feel unfamiliar at first; that’s okay. Stick with it for
a couple of minutes.
Recommended for: Forefoot and plantar fascia
Exercise 2: Through the Valley
Press the inner arch of your foot against the side of the high peak so that
the outside of your foot rests in the valley. Apply a good amount of pressure
and slowly slide your foot away from you. Do the same as you pull your foot
back toward you.
Recommended for : Inside and outside arch
Exercise 3: The Grind
Put your heel on the low peak with your toes pointing upward at a 45° angle.
As you grind your heel on the low peak, feel for hot spots and move with
controlled pressure to massage those areas.
Recommended for: Heel
