Someone's personal blog full of junk non-scienceby Consumer (1 out of 5 stars)
August 5, 2018
No science. No studies. No credentials given. This book presents one guy's story of the dozens and dozens of things he tried that he believed worked for him. Without a shred a credibility, he pontificates, with absolutely astounding hutzpah, about what is universally good and what is universally bad for absolutely everyone with PF, as if he is the world's leading expert. Even if he instead pitched this story as if it were the story of what worked for him (which would be a VERY different book), it would be claptrap. He's tried so many therapies with so many, many, many variables at work with each attempt, how could he possibly know which ones caused improvement and which ones didn't? It looks like a self-published book, down to embarrassing grammatical errors such as saying one type of therapist is "better then" another. Don't waste your money. You'll get advice that is just as credible by searching for PF remedies on the internet.
Intelligent Treatment

Pain in the feet is not fun. After a year of pain and sitting in podiatrist office following their guidelines I️ researched on the internet and ran across this young man. Being so young I️ thought he has not lived long enough to have the answers but after reading his story and following his advice after one day I️ got up without pain first thing in morning. By all means I️ know I️ have many more days of treatment to go of getting rid of trigger points and massage and stretch but it sure feels good to know I️ will be able to walk again pain free.
Wonderful insight into PF

If you really want PF help, spend $ on this book by William Errol Prowse. It is amazingly insightful. I now tape my feet & am seeing a therapist who specializes in ART (active release technique) massage therapy, as he suggests. She has helped me more in two sessions than the physical therapists who I've seen for MANY visits, all w/o relief. Be careful about releasing trigger points, as you can over do it. My therapist has helped guide me. Much better than when I started in my own & bruised myself all over! I've just started his dietary suggestions, so I can't comment on that.
Best of luck!

First of all, I have suffered from Plantar Fasciitis for over 2 years now and anyone else out there who has it, knows what a complete drag it is. I have spent so much money on this issue, it's ridiculous - it takes over your entire life. I started watching you tube videos in my spare time of plantar fasciitis looking for answers because I was so desperate (this is one of the many fun past times when you suffer from this issue is you watch videos on how to help your aching feet). I came across William Errol Prowse and he looked all of 23 years old and I was like who is this guy?? And how does he know so much about this nightmare of a problem?? He makes so much sense in his videos and I learned more from his videos than I have in visiting doctors, chiropractors and PT's. And I've seen them all. Anyways, I just got the book and it's great in detail. Pictures are good. He spells everything out in good detail. Shows how to massage tight areas (EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED) and how to use common household items as massage tools. Massage is key for this issue, I've always suspected that and he just drove that point home. I am impressed and very grateful. I don't see my issue going away overnight, but I feel with further reading and discipline in paying attention to things, it may continue to improve. Self education for this issue is key. You have to find what helps you. Thank you William for your valuable information and for sharing it with the rest of us suffering with this painful issue! You're amazing....keep up the great work!
If you don't fix your problem who will?

I (literally) stumbled on William's U-tube site. Skeptically watch a few videos. (Who is this...dude?) Then realized he knew what he was talking about. The book really puts all the pieces of the puzzle together. I struggled with triggers in my calves for a few years and cycled through partial recovery and re-injury when runnning. Achilles problems and ~7 months ago into classic heal-pain. Been doing the calf rolling, balls and scraping for a month and things are improving., It will take some consistent work but I now have a plan to fix it. Thanks William!
Tired of heel pain.

After six months of heel pain and trying every thing I could find on the internet I was getting very frustrated, being so immoble. I was to the point of not wanting to move because of my heel pain. It was not a quick fix, but following the steps outlined in this book after about two months I am 95 percent pain free. It is such a relief to walk again with little to no pain.

I want to thank Mr. Prowse for writing this book. He is not selling anything and is encouraging people to be their own therapist which is the best advice for me. I have tried some of his methods and after a week, I am noticing a slight difference. I was seeing a physical therapist twice week for 3 weeks with relief for about a day - then it was back to pain. When I got the book, I read it from cover to cover and then began highlighting and then began finding my trigger points - that the key, along with the right diet. The foods that are in the book are on my shopping list as staples now. I have recommended his book to my friends who are as frustrated with this condition as I am. This book gave me hope and I am so grateful to have found it. Thank you so much for writing this, along with Dr. Rosen!! I am now confident I will eventually be able to hike again and like the book says "Don't push it", "Keep the foot moving" and "Stay positive"!
Best I've found. More than I will remember.

Clear and simple explanations. The recommended process is sensible, but probably almost impossible for busy people who have to sit for long hours. Still, its nice to know that there is at least one solution out there that makes sense. It would be wonderful if Mr. Prowse described a grossly simplified process - the minimum viable diet and exercise rules - in a visual, easily digestible form. I suspect that a half dozen rules for diet, and a half dozen for other treatment, would work for most people with PF. After reading this book, the average office employee is left feeling a bit intimidated.
This really works!

The instructions in this book made a huge difference in my plantar fasciitis in only a couple of weeks. This kid really knows what he is talking about. If you are suffering from heal pain, you should give this book a chance.
Noticed improvement

I have had this book for a week. I developed pf in physical therapy while performing stretches and exercises my body was not ready for. I feel this has set me back in recovery. I can't drive without sever foot pain all along the inner part of my arch.
The book is easy to read and the instructions are easy to follow. I have noticed I have all of the trigger points William talks about and the scraping is really weird (grainy). After I perform the techniques in the book for relief, I notice a reduction in pain and improved feet flexibility. (I have it in both feet.) The information about the diet change makes a lot of sense and I'm going to leave physical therapy for a bit and try one of the suggested therapists.
