    Abstract: Foot disorders such as Morton's neuroma, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs tarsalgia and metatarsalgia may be treated with the improved apparatus described herein. The apparatus is comprised of a base, a removable stem and at least one therapeutic member. The base rests upon a floor. The stem perpendicularly extends from the base in one direction. A ridge network perpendicularly extends from the base in the other direction to enhance the adhesion of the base to the floor. The therapeutic member is integrally attached to the stem. The therapeutic member has a rigid flat upper surface distal to the base and is sized to be covered by the plantar surface of a foot. To use the apparatus, a user rests the plantar surface of his or her foot on the therapeutic member and moves the foot to stretch foot tissue or to spread metatarsal bones within the foot.
