Your Movement, We Support.
We started Alleviate as a patient-clinician duo, fed up with ineffective solutions and hindered by a broken industry that kept too many people in pain from chronic soft tissue injuries. With the Alleviate Method, we bring the gold standard of physical therapy to your home, so you can live life to the fullest.
Luke is a physical therapist with 20 years of experience. Trained in New Zealand where physical therapy is accessible as an integral part of the medical system, Luke has helped elite athletes and regular folks alike overcome injuries, prevent recurrence and perform their best.
Rick comes from a product design background and brings Harvard-trained business leadership to Alleviate. When Rick met Luke, he was suffering from a knee injury that kept him from living a full life for years. Luke fixed him up in 6 weeks.
Virginia left high-profile positions at ecommerce mega-corporations to build Alleviate from the ground up with Rick and Luke.

Driven by an insatiable desire to solve problems, we embarked on a mission: to make effective treatment for common, chronic, and debilitating injuries accessible to everyone.
Our first invention was the Arch Massager, a precision-engineered foot massage tool to give everyone an intuitive way to replicate the professional massage Luke gives his patients - called Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. Fun fact: the first model was built with Play-Doh that Luke "borrowed" from his daughter.

"Like many, I have tried different products and techniques to help heal plantar fasciitis. None really made a significant impact besides rest.
The Arch Massager at first was painful to use, but over time with consistency it does help soften the tissue in the affected heel. So far, so good. Even if your feet are healthy, it feels good to use and can serve as a regular professional foot massage standing. I am a believer."
- Li W. [Arch Massager]
"I've ordered several hundred dollars of different items. I truly am amazed by how well it works at the exact pressure point needed. Highly recommended."
- Marilyn T., Retired Nurse [Plantar Fasciitis System 2]
"Awesome product. From the moment I put it on, I could feel the support in my arch. I was able to do my daily walking regimen pain-free for the first time in years. It's comfortable even on hot days.
"My pain after day 1 went down considerably! The massager works amazing as well as the online program. After 2 weeks of using the massager and program my pain has gone down over 70%!
For the first time in a year and a half dealing with this foot pain, I'm hopeful that I can be pain-free in the near future."
"There are hundreds of products in my retail store. There are less than 10 in my treatment room. The Arch Massager is one of them."
"Alleviate is a one-stop shop for pain relief and long-term results. Patients can self-release and self-manipulate tissue, using physical products. It's a no brainer!"
"The engineering on the Arch Massager is great. My patients need to be using this while watching TV at home."
Using our at-home treatment systems, tens of thousands of our users have recovered from thier chronic pain conditions like Plantar Fasciitis and Tennis Elbow, and stayed symptom-free.

Alleviate was founded in 2021 by a patient-clinician duo. Frustrated by the broken system that failed - and still fails - to deliver effective treatments to everyone with common, chronic, painful musculoskeletal conditions, we set out to change the status quo.
We started with a razor-sharp focus on one pathology: Plantar Fasciitis. After rigorous product testing and iterations, we've now expanded the Alleviate Method of recovery to Tennis Elbow, with more to come.
Alleviate is a movement where everyone can take control of how they feel. It's about the marathon you want to run, the championship you want to win - but it's also about every little moment in between.
Millions of people with chronic pain need someone to push them into action with the Alleviate Method. Our community supports each other, helping everyone recover faster.
