foot roller
Arch relief cylinder
A foot roller is a cylindrical device designed to massage the soles of the feet.
You place it on the floor and roll your foot back and forth over it, applying pressure to relieve tension and stimulate circulation.
Foot rollers range from simple wooden dowels to textured foam or spiky plastic designs: I keep a foot roller under my desk for when my feet get sore.
