“I finished my physical therapy for plantar fasciitis today with (Physical Therapist) Erik Strahan. The protocol that he used was extremely effective in relieving the pain and discomfort. The ASTYM made all the difference in the world as far as speedy and complete recovery. ASTYM is extremely effective in my opinion. Let Dr. Erik know that I appreciate all of his knowledge and hard work.” – Alvin Thomas III
