Zusammenfassung:	A device and method for engaging the foot distal to the metatarsi that enables a full stretch of the plantar fascia, muscles of the feet and lower leg. The invention has an elongated shaft that has a brace element affixed to the end of the shaft pointed away from a human user and a handle element affixed to the opposite end of the shaft. When the handle element is pulled toward the human user, the brace element engages the foot such that the intended stretch on the plantar and posterior portions of the foot and leg is initiated.
