FAQ
What does it do?
Unlike traditional balance boards, the AxisBoard specifically trains the intrinsic foot muscles and stabilizers around the ankle. This prevents reliance on hip or knee adjustments for balance, and works the right muscles for injury recovery and prevention.
How does it work?
The foot is divided into forefoot, midfoot, and rearfoot sections, working together with intrinsic muscles for proper function. The AxisBoard targets and strengthens these areas, improving stability and aiding in injury recovery.
Why do I need to strengthen my foot?
Weak muscles often lead to injuries like plantar fasciitis, which is often caused by a weak arch. The AxisBoard specializes in low-impact, controlled exercises that gradually engage muscles without overburdening them. This method strengthens the feet, alleviates pain, and prevents future injuries, promoting balanced muscle growth.

How to use
STEP 1: Set up your configuration as shown in the manual.
STEP 2: Place one foot on the board, keeping weight evenly distributed on both legs to start.
STEP 3: Start balancing on one foot, using a wall or chair for support as needed.
TIP: Don't forget to gradually ramp up the difficulty and push yourself to challenge those muscles so they can get stronger. This will also help alleviate any pain caused by certain muscles.
