Balance is the system that catches you when you trip, and it declines faster than any other physical system after 40. That's why falls are the #1 cause of injury death in adults over 65. AxisBoard rebuilds the foot and ankle strength that keeps you upright in just 3 minutes a day, the same training PTs use to keep older patients independent.
✓ PT-designed. Used in clinics with patients 60-80+
✓ Start supported (wall or chair). Progressive difficulty — no jumping in the deep end
✓ Builds the foot, ankle, and stabilizer strength that walking, yoga, and pilates miss

This AxisBoard has been a game changer for the way that I treat Achilles tendon issues and weakness/stiffness through the foot. It has helped improve stability and control for myself and my patients. This has far surpassed what I was doing before with balance pads and weight plates!

I would highly recommend the AxisBoard to any client dealing with instability deficits of the ankle and foot. It definitely helps to improve stability and strength of the foot by challenging it in multiple directions and planes of motion. It will help to strengthen the ankle for those who are dealing with ankle sprains, tendinitis issues, or even post-surgical rehab. Just from using it over a week, I already see improvement in clients confidence in challenging their ankle, and improved stability of the ankle. We can now challenge clients in multiple ways like performing dual task activities while standing on the AxisBoard. In the past we've used BOSU balls but sometimes it may be too extreme or just too woobly. Foam pads ar egreat too, but when clients see thr AxisBoard they get excited, especially since we are able to manipulate it to challenge the ankle in different ways, something that the BOSU ball and the foam pads do not provide. Plus, the AxisBoard can allow us to stabilize the forefoot or rearfoot to challenge certain parts of the foot, something not possible with the BOSU or Foam pads.

Sprained ankles, chronic ankle issues, post surgical rehab, balance. Improved ROM, proprioception, stability, and strength. The Axis Board is far better than a BOSU ball, balance board, etc., due to how specific, low to the ground, and variable it is.

Any patient with foot or ankle issues, balance deficits or gait dysfunction. We have noticed increased quality of mov't and balance capabilities. The specificity of training for forefoot versus hindfoot is superior to other devices that keep the foot flat (BOSU, wobble board, foam rollers, etc).

I integrate these tools within a mobile, data-driven neuroperformance model to restore function and build durable, real-world capacity. Primary use: single-leg balance and foot/ankle neuromuscular control. Ideal patient: ankle sprain, chronic ankle instability, or foot/ankle weakness. Advantage vs foam pads/BOSU: more targeted foot/ankle loading with precise, incremental progression. Limitation: not appropriate early if weight-bearing tolerance is limited or fall risk is high without support.

I’ve been using the Axis Board Pro during my recovery from a grade 2/3 ankle sprain, and it’s honestly been a huge help in my rehab. When I first started, putting weight on my ankle was really difficult, but the board made it possible to gradually rebuild strength and stability. The controlled movements helped me work on balance, mobility, and ankle control without feeling like I was pushing too hard. Over time, I noticed a big improvement in my confidence when standing and shifting weight. Now I’m able to weight bear much more comfortably, which felt impossible a few weeks ago. It’s been a really useful tool for rebuilding ankle stability and proprioception during recovery. If you’re going through ankle rehab, especially after a moderate to severe sprain, this board can be a great addition to your exercises. Definitely recommend it as part of a structured recovery process.

A lot more convenient than a BOSU ball, beneficial for those clients recovering from PF or simply wishing to improve stability. A big one for my trail runners!

I recommend this product for a wide range of clients, from improving ankle and foot mobility and strength to enhancing stability at the hip and pelvis. Compared to other balance boards, it stands out by allowing articulation through the midfoot, promoting better control and mobility in natural foot and ankle movements like pronation and supination. It also offers adjustable control points, enabling targeted training of specific muscles and positions that need attention.

1. We have used the Axisboard with patients that ranged from gymnastist, runners, and/or weight lifters to improve foot intrinsic engagement. Planter fasciitis, achilles tendonitis, calif strain, ankle sprain, shin splits. The axis board works on mobility, strength, and endurance of ankle stabilizers and foot intrinsics. It works to improve many aspects of ankle and foot proprioception. 2. We noticed improved mobility through the mid foot and improvements in balance capacity. 3. The axis board is adjustable which allows it to challenge many aspects of balance as opposed to fixed wobble boards. Additionally, given the capacity to adjust, I can use the Axisboard for both my adolescent patients and adult patients.

The Axis board allows for separation of the hind foot and mid foot. I use pronation/supination control a lot with patients and this is the first device I’ve seen that makes it easier for the patient to understand and perform.

Have been using the axis board to promote self foot mobilization for the following conditions- post ankle sprain, posterior tibialis dysfunction, plantar fasciitis. This is the best product that I have found to specifically target both the midfoot, rearfoot, and forefoot without manual intervention. I have also been using it for maintenance work to help my guys offset their time in rigid combat boots. My only concern is that of durability where the bottom pegs are plastic. I have guys upwards of 250lbs using it regularly and I guess I question how long it will hold up over time.

I would recommend this first for any trail runner to improve ankle mobility and stability as I often see this as a contributor to injury. In addition, this is a great tool for people with plantar fasciitis ,or knee pain, as foot movement deficits often have implications up the chain. I worked on my peroneals, and actually noticed an improvement in some hip pain I've been dealing with. I like this product better than things like the bosu or foam pad because it can focus forefoot vs midfoot and rearfoot, making it much more effective and efficient. Overall, I would definitely (and already have) recommend this tool for my patients

1. I would recommend this for clients after an ankle injury (for example a sprain) to assist with regaining range of motion and improving the stability of the ankle. I would also recommend this for clients who are runners to improve overall single leg control. 2. When using this product I have noticed improvements in range of motion and dynamic stability. 3. I enjoy using this product over the foam pad/wobble board/bosu ball since there are so many ways you can customize the orientation of the pegs to target what a specific client needs.

1. I recommend the AxisBoard to individuals with ankle mobility, strength, or balance issues. Its unique separation of forefoot and rearfoot movements allows you to target specific muscle or joint limitations. The device enables a more individualized balance training approach by addressing medial, lateral, and anterior weaknesses affecting balance. While I have not tested this, I can see how the AxisBoard could help post-surgical knee injury patients improve unilateral knee stability and balance. 2. I used the AxisBoard with a patient with a medial ankle sprain, and she noticed an improvement in her medial ankle pain within 5 minutes of working. Another patient is a post-surgical Achilles tendon graft and repair patient. She reported a decrease in ankle stiffness. She also reported that she believed the AxisBoard worked on her calf musculature without causing as much pain as traditional exercises. Lastly, I used this on a patient experiencing balance issues following a lumbar fusion. She is having difficulty with balance due to anterior tibialis dysfunction. I was better able to target the anterior tibialis muscle with balance due to the AxisBoard’s ability to adjust the pegs than when using a foam pad, where she was compensating with some other muscle groups. 3. Compared to a Bosu Ball, the AxisBoard is more compact, making it ideal for clinics with limited space. It is also more adjustable and individualized. Additionally, compared to the ankle ROCK board, I feel the AxisBoard achieves rearfoot and forefoot mobility more effectively.

Any ankle or foot injury. We have experimented using this tool for Ankle Sprains, Ankle instability, Plantar Fasciits, and forefoot pain and hypermobility. We used it to encourage AROM in the ankle and forfoot, together, and separate, to encourage ankle and foot foot stability, strength, and contributing towards balance. We used is as a balance tool, focusing on single leg stance balance with differing surfaces, and textures. We have received feedback from several patients that they enjoyed the use and felt the tool was beneficial. We have only been using for 2 weeks, but the versatility of the tool is great, and allows for use with so many different conditions and patients. When compared to other tools, it was more comfortable and less intimidating for patients whem compared to Foam pads, and wobble boards, and we used it as a wobble board replacement because of this.

1. Type of patient: young and middle age, athlete, likes to workout. Injury: ankle sprain, post op ankle surgery (later in their recovery), ankle weakness, plantar fasciitis, achilles tendinitis, neuropathy, 2. better balance, improve ankle proprioception, improved ROM, SL balance, improve confidence. 3. it mimics triplaner joint, you can really individualize how the balance can be challenged. (it would be nice if it were wider and the rubber part seems like it can break.. but it might be ok. )

1. I would recommend this product to anyone having a foot/ankle injury and potentially knee and hip pain as well depending on the diagnosis, since this treats and trains the muscles of the foot to improve ground contact and decrease pain with walking. 2. I used this product on myself and noticed increased foot strength, increased stability, and better balance. Also reduced knee and hip pain. 3. This product is much better than a bosu or wobble board, both previously used in the clinic to treat patients. This product is targeted to the foot, and specifically focusing on arch strength which is difficult to isolate with the other rehab products. I like that this product is small and easily portable, and the app allows it to be used easily at home to increase patient compliance.

I’ve really liked using the Sidekick AxisBoard Pro Balance Board with patients dealing with ankle sprains, Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, big toe issues and general foot/ankle weakness, especially in active adults and tennis players. What stands out most is the improvement we’ve seen in single-leg balance, proprioception, and overall foot control, and several patients have mentioned feeling more stable and confident when returning to walking, running, or uneven surfaces. It gives us a more targeted way to load the foot and ankle compared to the standard wobble boards or foam pads I’ve used in the past — it feels more specific to the smaller stabilizing muscles and offers better progression options as patients improve, which has made it a really useful tool in the clinic. In addition, it's honestly fun to use and patients enjoy it.

Various ankle injuries, Foot problems (poor flexibility and mobility). The equipment is lovely as its low to the floor application still gives great outcome results for the above mentioned problems. We use a bosu ball, wobble board and this does what these do in a safer way

1. Easy answer is ankle sprains or chronic ankle instability from repeated ankle sprains. You can challenge the ankle in multiple planes and easily progress and regress based on sitting/standing/stacking. I’ve also used this for patient’s with low back pain that stemmed from faulty lower extremity mechanics and foot control. 2. Notice better balance, ROM, and ankle stability/strength. 3. More customizable than a BOSU ball. Only critiques on the product are that the individual pivot points are a little cumbersome to configure and the sliding heel adjustment piece would be better if you could lock it in place somehow.

It's a dynamic and very specific tool to not only strengthen the musculature of the foot but also exposes weaknesses that would have been most likely ignored.

I had the opportunity to trial the axis board for a few weeks now and I impressed. It isolates the foot so much better than other decices such as balance foam blocks or balance pads, bosu balls etc and the way you can bias certain parts of your foot with changing the attachments is really nice as well. It felt challenging and really targeted. Will recommend to patients and friends alike.

I like that all the toes are on the ground (think MOBO board), this is more functional imo, I think the board could be slightly wider to allow the whole foot to sit comfortable on it
