I am really enjoying my daily exercises on my sidekick single-leg balance board. I can't wait to get challenged every day. My hope is that those will translate into a rock-solid Achilles for running 🏃♂️ 😃
This product impressed me. I have a degree in Health Education: Exercise Science, and I’ve been around gyms of various kinds, physical therapists, athletic trainers, etc. for a couple decades now - as both athlete and trainer. I only have one piece of constructive feedback, really: as someone approaching 40, my eyes arent seeing the small things as well and I had to squint in the app to understand the peg arrangement for the exercise I was setting up. Not a big deal, but i wish i could have zoomed in to get clarity more quickly. Other than that, this is near perfection. The product is built out very intentionally, AND you get rehabilitative coaching with the only requirement being that you follow instructions closely to execute the exercises appropriately. Good job Sidekick team!
I've been trying for a year to get an ankle injury sorted and whilst I have done enough calf raises for all of us, the AxisBoard hits differently.
I feel my ankle working and feeling tired after, but not in a bad way, its good to feel like im doing something that is helping. Early days but I am happy to have come across this. Book and app to help are brilliant too, great package all in all
Loving it. Really helps with movement in workouts that feel good.
I was looking at different plyometric boxes, trying to incorporate some weight-bearing exercises into my routine. Thankfully I decided to think about it, because I discovered the LadderPod shortly thereafter. The machine came in two boxes in perfect condition. Set-up is a snap; I was able to assemble it by myself. The machine comes with a 199-page manual of different exercises, or an app if that's your preference. Feels very sturdy.
I have planter fasciitis, do bad I had to use a knee scooter. I tried doing the exercises, but they hurt really bad. So I got the Side Kick. It has helped so much. That i don't have to wrap it, and I can now finally walk on it. Try it, it will work for you.
I have had some knee issues from a suspected MCL tear. The programs that come with the LadderPod allow me to focus directly on movements that will aid in recovery. The base is very stable and being able to adjust the height down is great for doing the side and front step downs.
I love all the different exercises that are described in both the booklet and via the app. The videos are also very instructive.
This board has helped re strengthen my ankles to get ready for my next race. Since I started using it, I have had several runs pain free and feel stronger on it.
The guide book is very helpful with explaining hot to make your ankles stronger
I’ve been using my Axisboard every day since I bought it and can already see some improvements.
Great tool and guideline to getting foot strength restored.
Has helped my achilles tendonitis flair up within 1-2 weeks of daily use.
Great purchase!I recently purchased the sidekick pro to help develop strength in my feet. It is very easy to setup and the product provides lots of information on how to use it for different goals .
Here’s a polished, positive review based on what you asked for:

I’ve been using the AxisBoard Pro for my foot rehabilitation, and it has honestly exceeded my expectations in every way. The design is simple yet incredibly effective, and it targets exactly the areas I need to strengthen and recover.
What really stands out is how much it has helped with my rehab progress. I’ve noticed improved stability, strength, and flexibility in my feet in a relatively short time. It’s easy to incorporate into daily routines, and the results speak for themselves.
On top of that, the build quality is excellent, making it feel durable and safe to use. Considering how effective it is, I genuinely think it offers great value for money compared to other rehab tools out there.
I also had a great experience with their customer service team. They were responsive, helpful, and clearly care about their customers, which made the whole experience even better.
Overall, I highly recommend the AxisBoard Pro to anyone looking for a reliable and effective tool for foot rehab or strengthening. It’s made a real difference for me.
Foot injuries are always a journey. I broke both feet over winter and did lots of PT, but there was always something missing that I couldn’t get at home. The Sidekick, and black bag, are now with me everyday. I’ve noticed a difference in how I both of my feet feel walking. The simple exercises are explained with quick videos in the app and more detail provided in the booklet.
Building it into my routine has been important to maintain happy healthy feet.
So excited I get this for Fathers Day. Well made and the accompanied booklet looks so extensive with options to assist my aging feet and ankles.
Scraper has already helped a ton. Im happy we got it. We are avid runners and I suffer from very tight calves and Achilles pains.
I’ve been using the Sidekick for a short time, supplementing my weightlifting program. My ankle stability is improving quickly. Easy to use & the bag with the Sidekick and guide book stay close by for quick access.
I have peroneal tendonitis and this board is excellent to help strengthen my foot! I love it!
I had a fractured ankle that I recovering from.
There are many heavy-duty toe spreaders in the market. Many are effective, but difficult to use during barefoot exercises due to the sheer bulk or awkward shapes. Sidekick's toe spreader addresses this. It is strong enough to maintain splayed toes while working on movement or even during yoga.
Been thoroughly enjoying the AxisBoard 2.0 for conditioning, recovery, and strengthening. This product is not marketed as a quick fix - And that is why it is gratifying to use. The more you spend time adjusting positions and setting up increasingly challenging balancing scenarios, you feel all the intricate muscles in your feet, leg, and throughout your core work. Excellent product!
Great product. I wish it had a padded roller attachment. Would make it easier to use it for a spit squats and various planks.
This board provides much needed stretching to the sides of my feet and ankles. After repeated sprains, I've decided to get serious and work on my ankle strength and mobility. Combine this board with a standing desk!
Seeing real progress on my ankle injury and I am excited to move beyond rehab and into strength training on this tool.
A great tool for instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM)
