itbs stinks..

Has anyone tried the Achilles Healer for Achilles tendonitis? I came
across it on the http://www.pattstrap.com website. I had not noticed
it before when I ordered the pattstrap for ITBS but when I went back
for a second pattstrap I noticed it and it looks interesting. I want
to order it but am looking to see if anyone has tried it first.
Please let me know.
thanks.
