Love mine

I've had my tool for only about a week, and I feel looser already. I originally bought the level below, the Swerve, which was $95. But it was out of stock. So I splurged for the more expensive one. I was reluctant to spend $135, but it feels very durable and has made a huge difference in some of the areas where I'm really tight , as an avid runner.and sore

Easy to use

Thus far it seems like the board is easy to use. I've only had it a week and have started with some of the simple exercises. I can't say that I've noticed an improvement yet but expect that with time and consistency that my foot will get stronger.

Awesome product!

Love this product! My family and I have better balance and strength!

The surprise recovery tool

My son talked to me about the advantages of using the scraper. He uses one and loves it and had me try his. I was impressed with the “ hurts do good” response my plantar fasciitis had. I ordered my own scraper that same day. It has been improving my foot situation far more than I had anticipated. A real game changer!! My husband is now using it on muscle it’s he has in his total knee replacement recant he is a hard sell for “gadgets” but he likes the results he gets so this purchase is something everyone should make

Hi!

Love hearing this! Sounds like the scraper’s been a hit with the whole family — even your husband’s on board. I'm glad it’s helping with your plantar fasciitis and overall recovery. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!

I ordered the Axios Board as a last ditch effort to correct some hamstring/calf/tibia injuries the week before my first 50k. The board shipped quickly and I found the instruction manual really helpful in finding exercises that would target my specific injuries. I have only used it for a week so far, but was able to run my race without too much discomfort partially thanks to the Axios Board! Looking forward to using it to further aid my recovery and to prevent future injuries.

Hi!

That’s awesome to hear — huge congrats on finishing your 50k! Glad the Axisboard helped you get through it and that the exercises are working for you. Keep up the recovery work; it sounds like you’re on a solid path.

Appreciate you sharing your experience,

I have used the Axis Board twice now

I have used the Axis board Pro Balance Board twice now and have already identified several weaknesses in my feet. I have been having an issue with my great big toe taking too much of the load. I am hoping my foot will learn to spread the load out through the entire foot by using the Balance Board.

Solid board. Long lasting and grippy.

Definitely appreciate the upgraded axisboard with the removable pegsfor extra durability and rubber top for grip. Had the original one as well, which used Velcro. While the original one’s design made it easier to change the configuration, I’d rather have it such that it used pegs to prolong the life of the board. Overall, great product!

Hi!

Thank you for your feedback!

We’re really glad you’re enjoying the upgraded AxisBoard Pro. You nailed it—the peg system and rubber top were all about improving durability and grip for long-term use. Appreciate you sharing your experience (and for sticking with us since the original version!).

Love this for strengthening my ankle for running!

I have gone to several PT’s over the years to try and run pain free. I haven’t had any specific injury, but I do long distance running and it takes a lot of strength training todo that without pain. I’ve discovered that it takes a mixture of things—- strengthening my large muscles— and then also the small ones that are harder to get. This sidekick axis board is the best tool to easily build strength in my ankle and inner shin muscles. The guide is so helpful, like having your own PT! Love this thing!

Hi!

That’s awesome to hear! We’re so glad the AxisBoard is helping you target those smaller stabilizing muscles—it really does make a difference for runners. Sounds like you’ve built a smart, well-rounded approach to staying pain-free. Thanks for sharing your experience!

2 handed Gua Sha scraping tool goes deep

I've done Gua Sha for 10+years and was challenged with going deep around bigger muscles without wearing myself out. The Bow, definitely goes very deep with a fraction of the typical effort.

Hi!

That’s great to hear! The Bow was designed exactly for that—deeper, more efficient work without the strain. Glad it’s making your Gua Sha sessions easier and more effective!

Ankles are pain free (finally!)

Easy to adjust and all of my ankle pain is gone. The exercises included were very helpful. This has become part of my daily routine. Perfect for staying awake during work meetings too.

Fine Muscle Tuneup

I bought this because I am suffering from achilles pain and generally have weak ankles. I was doing single leg balances on the floor and standing on a pillow. However, I saw this and I liked how customizable it was to target different muscle groups. The first day that I went through the excercises it made me realize how weak I was in certain spots. I have had this for a week and I have noticed it getting easier each time I use it. I am hoping the pain will eventually subside and I will incorporate this into my routine to prevent injuries going forward.

Hi!

That’s awesome progress! It’s great to hear you’re already feeling stronger after just a week. The AxisBoard really shines at revealing and rebuilding those smaller stabilizing muscles. Keep at it—sounds like you’re on the right track toward easing that Achilles pain and preventing future issues.

Single Leg Balance Training Board Axis

I’ve just started using the Axis board and I’m already noticing positive results. I’m still learning all the ins and outs, but I’ve found that spending time with the manual is incredibly valuable. Using the Axis for mobility and muscle activation before my runs has been a real game changer for my Peroneal Tendinopathy. I’m looking forward to making it a regular part of my routine and getting the most out of it. A great start so far!

Hi,

That’s awesome to hear! Sounds like you’re really getting the hang of it. The Axis is such a great tool for improving mobility and activating those stabilizing muscles—especially for things like peroneal tendinopathy. Keep up the consistency, it only gets better from here! 💪
