"As an athlete, my feet take a constant beating causing foot issues that have affected my preparation and training," Ms. Harper said.  "Using the FootMate System allows me to take care of my feet so that these problems do not occur.  During and immediately after a work-out, I use the FootMate System to relax my feet so that my feet and legs do not cramp.  After my day of training, I use it in the shower to clean and massage my feet.”  

Ms. Harper added, “Proper foot health is important for an athlete as foot fungus, dry, cracked skin, and odors can affect performance.  The FootMate System has solved all of these issues for me.  Since I started using it, I have not lost a race this year.  I will be taking the FootMate System with me to London for the 2012 Olympic Games to make sure my feet are in tip top shape so that I can bring home another gold medal."

"Gordon Brush is honored that the FootMate System is major part of Dawn's preparation and has significantly contributed to her racing success.  We wish her good luck in her quest for a record setting second gold medal in the 100M hurdles at the 2012 Olympic Games in London," said Mr. Ken Rakusin, the company’s president and CEO.

The podiatrist-recommended FootMate System is a complete foot care system for cleaning, soothing, stimulating, and massaging feet every time one showers.  It also can be used out of the shower to massage feet after an athletic practice.  

The FootMate sticks to the shower floor with suction cups; a long retrieval cord eliminates stooping after use.  It comes with 8 ounces of foaming Rejuvenating Gel™ made with tea tree oil (a natural antiseptic), healing aloe, skin cleansers and conditioners.

The FootMate System is beneficial for anyone who wants to experience the benefits of a soothing foot massage while taking better care of their feet, i.e., people with diabetes, arthritis, back pain, athletes, pregnant women, etc.  A gentle back-and-forth motion is all that's required to massage, condition, and clean feet from a convenient standing position.

Made in the United States, the FootMate System is the ultimate foot massage and the perfect way to pamper tired, aching feet.  For more information on the FootMate System, Refresh, Restore, Renew™, contact Laura Jelinowicz, product manager, at laura@gordonbrush.com or (323) 724-7777 ext. 290 or visit http://www.footmate.com.
